Question
I've used the hatch command on my computer. Today and yesterday I find that I can't even get the dialog box to come up after clicking on the hatch icon. I also double click on a hatch pattern in my drawings and nothing happens. How do I reactivate my hatch command?
Sounds to me like you've lost your dialog box somewhere. Did you happen to switch from 2 monitors to 1 yesterday??
Try typing bh at the command line (That's Boundary hatch shortcut), now hold down the alt key and hit space, then release the alt key and type M... Now using your cursor keys, move them up, down and all around until you see the dialog box come back on the screen.
See if that does the trick and be sure to let me know.

| Comment | thanks. I'm going to keep your response. I was able to restore my access to the hatch command somehow by closing out the program and then getting back into it. | ||
