i am just finishing off a drwing with some hatching and have come up agaist a problem. When i select the area i want to hatch i get a box come up saying "Do you really want to do this?" I can only select no and as a result can't hatch. i have tried different hatches, tried hatching different area etc but to no avail. hatching has worked fine on previous drawings and still does - just one drawing file seems to be affected. when i started the drawing it was on a laptop being saved to a usb stick. at this point hatches worked. i have since opened the file on a desktop and did a save as to the hard drive - it may be un related but it seems since then that the hatch command will not work. any help would be greatly appreciated as i need to get the drawing finished!!

can you create a polyline round the area to be hatched, move the polyline away from the main drawing, hatch inside the polyline  then move it back to where it should be

yes - if i re-create the area with a new polyline and move it away i can hatch the new area.. Which does give me a "cheat" to complete the drawing thanks.
