Using LT 2009
I'm trying to hatch the attached drawing (extracted from the actual drawing) with two separate hatches,
Now the quickest way is to hatch both areas with the same hatch and then use the properties painter, on each separate hatch, Unfortunately it's not hatching the areas separately.
HPSEPARATE is 1. Island detection is NORMAL.

Yeah inside the i-beam and outside. The outside is supposed to be a concrete hatch and the inside is supposed to be an ansi31 hatch, but every time I try to hatch them at the same time as separate entities it turns it into one hatch

Your file looks okay here applying hatches.

No that would be impossible the trick is to realize there is no spoon...
Sorry tangented.
I just ran thru two quick Hatch Macros that I have that uses ANSI31 for one and Concrete for the other so two instances of the Command.
To do with one invoking of Hatch I would think that you would need to Macro that into the Command.

Are you trying to hatch two areas with two separate hatch patterns in one HATCH command session? You can't.
Otherwise I don't really understand your second post.
No I'm just trying to create two separate hatches. One inside the beam and one outside the beam. AFTER I've done that I then use the match properties to turn one of the supposedly SEPARATE hatches into concrete and the other into ansi31

HPISLANDDETECTION = 1, Not Saved and 1 is default
HPISLANDDETECTIONMODE = 1, Not Saved and 1 is defualt
HPSEPARATE = 0, Saved and 0 is default
That is what I have set here and I can change either without issue.
You posted drawing also works without issue here to change one of the Hatches

Those variables aren't in LT2009 Charles.
Dean I couldn't write a macro to do that to save my life.
As to the drawing I posted. I put a line straight down the middle of the beam and extended it outside of the boundaries, and lo and behold when I hatched on one side of that line I got two separate hatches.

Too much for the Computer to compute so to speak?
That Spline up top might be what is getting you.

It's all well and good doing a script (thank you for the effort Dean), but what if I have more than two separate areas I need to hatch.
I found out what the problem is but don't know how to fix it. It's totally ignoring the NORMAL Island selection mode, even though it's selected.
I tried to hatch the same drawing using the three modes and picking once inside the beam and once between the beam and the white line.
For NORMAL it ignored the beam.
For OUTER it just hatched between the beam and the white line (even though I'd picked inside the beam as well.
The scale will not always be the same and neither will the hatch, which is why I hatched with one pattern and then used MATCHPROP

Yeah I found that worked and also I found if I trimmed the drawing at that line I got two separate hatches as well

Now to add to the saga,
The attached dwg has now got another beam in it which I have just drawn this morning.
Both were hatched with the same island detection on and separate hatches ticked.
As you can see the left hand beam is still one hatch, but the right hand beam is separate hatches.
