Hatch

Hatch

Hatching creates a hatched or filled block in a region of the drawing enclosed by a boundary made up of lines, arcs, circles, polylines, and/or rectangle entities.
A hatch boundary is a set of closed contours. WiseImage defines the boundary by analyzing all selected vectors. It tries to find all entities that define the closed contours, generates these contours, and adds them to the selected closed region.
WiseImage creates a hatch using a style known as the Normal AutoCAD hatch style. Islands remain un-hatched, while islands within islands are hatched, as in the figure below.
