I have a line drawing from a draftsman. It was imported from some other program, but I'm not sure which. However, this has cropped up many times over the years on my drawings as well as others. It just is typically quickly remedied with a workaround.
The hatch spacing too dense issue requiring me to break up the area: this problem will occur on equally sized areas at the same zoom factor at which I just hatched an adjacent area. I have changed the "MaxHatch" variable environment from stock at 10k, to 100k, then to 1,000k; yet the problem persists. I don't have a particularly fast machine so by that point I decided there was no need to max the variable at 10,000k. Any suggestions? There are no z variables in the drawing though it appears, almost randomly, to have plines or lines along the same length of wall.
The second issue is the closed boundary. This occurs on lines that are connected at all corners, even when I stretch and reconnect a line, though that is a very time consuming method. When I increase the hgaptol variable it will hatch bizzarre areas that have no relation to what I am attempting to hatch. This is also occuring even inside a REC that I created just prior to hatching due to error on the original layout. I have to hatch an object rather than select an internal point. It has become so obnoxious in this drawing that I decided to post with these questions.
Help or thoughts will be appreciated.
