    Is there a way to have BHatch default to non-associative? Please don't ask
    me why anyone would want to do that, it's a user request.

    I 'll still ask you. Is it because the users get bored of picking a hatch
    and getting it's border too?
    Set the variable "PICKSTYLE" to 1 instead of 2 or 3 and you 'll work
    comfortably with associative hatches.

    We appear to be having difficulty with a particular drawing or two that
    causes the hatches to cover the entire drawing when items are moved.
    Disabling associative hatching seems to prevent this so they are disabling
    it on the object level after they apply the hatch.

    You could make a little routine to perform a non-associative bhatch (at the
    command line "-BHATCH") on the opening of each drawing session to save that
    setting. It might be easier to just teach the users to just uncheck the box
    though.

    Command: -bhatch

    Current hatch pattern: AR-CONC
    Specify internal point or [Properties/Select/Remove islands/Advanced]: a

    Enter an option [Boundary set/Retain boundary/Island
    detection/Style/Associativity]: a
    Do you want associativity? [Yes/No] : n

    Enter an option [Boundary set/Retain boundary/Island
    detection/Style/Associativity]: *Cancel*
