I just learn autocad from book, and I have a problem when doing the hatch, because it seems there are some open boundaries even though I cant seem to find it.
Is there a way for me to automatically close all possible boundaries so I can hatch it?

ps: Im using autocad 2015

thanks

Yes, you can use the HPGAPTOL variable to increase the hatch tolerance to "gaps" in the boundaries.

Try changing the hatch gap tolerance which is normally set at 0.00 to something much higher.  The max setting is 5,000.  At 0.00 a boundary would have to be completely closed which you state is not the case with your drawing.  Are you using OSnaps to make accurate picks or are you eye-balling where two lines meet up?  If you aren't using OSnaps then that is just sloppy.
