Bhatch does not find a hatch boundary

Friday, 07 March 2008
Ever since bhatch was introduced in R13, it has had trouble finding the boundary of many areas which are bound by arcs or polylines with arcs. This bug seems to be more troublesome the farther the linework is away from the UCS origin. It appears to be worse still when the linework is far from the WCS origin (such as any geospatial drawing). Over the past 14 years, the user community has come up with numerous workarounds to coax results from the bhatch command. Unfortunately, no single workaround works in all cases. Furthermore, none of these workarounds make sense to younger users who have never had to massage results from their software and have grown to expect applications to "just work." These workarounds are documented below.

Notice that the command is exited

This works great until you have to go back to one monitor for whatever reason. (It does happen, particularly after using a projector). If you find yourself with missing dialog boxes, you can reposition them by editing their position in the Windows registry.
