Below is a rubble pattern hatch that "looks" fine at smaller coordinates. The rubble objects "look" like they close, but as the distance from the origin gets larger and larger the small differences in the angles and distances begin to diverge more and more. The 5 decimal place wide gap is invisible close to the origin, but 5 million units farther away the gap is now several feet, destroying the display, "look" of the hatch.
Hola Randy;
You can make a call to the command UCS using the Origin option (that it is not documented the directly access):
To define a temporary origin closer to the hatchable area.
Command: UCS
Current ucs name: *WORLD*
Enter an option [New/Move/orthoGraphic/Prev/Restore/Save/Del/Apply/?/World]
<World>: Origin
Specify new origin point <0,0,0>:
Then, call the hatch command and after that call to the UCS Previous
Or, you can use the SNAPBASE (after autocad 2005, I think the name has changed - do not remember what it is) system variable and define the location closer to the hatchable area.
That's how in most of the cases it will work.
