Hatching Large area's: when hatching large area's in autocad LT the programe hangs most of the time and cant preform the hatch unless its broken into lots of small sections, is there away to complete the hatch in one go.

Try resetting the system variable MAXHATCH to a higher setting.  What happens?

hi
 
I have entered GETENV then MAXHATCH but it comes up with "could not read environment variable"
 
 

Exactly how did you type that in?

To change the MaxHatch setting, on the command line type:(setenv "MaxHatch" "1000000")Important: the text is case sensitive, quotes are needed around Maxhatch and the value and that brackets must be used.The point of having this setting is to prevent dense patterns from locking up the PC.Source: Cadhatch.com
