Oh, it looks so simple - just point and click return...
Why doesn't it work for me?

Unable to hatch the boundary.
Have got a pathway, that I want to hatch, to show as one continual material (tarmac), even though it goes up and down steps, on slopes etc. I've drawn a polyline around the area and this is what I am trying to hatch. Used 'close' command, so shouldn't have any holes in the polyline join.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved by Cas_GIS. Go to Solution.
2D and no topography - haven't got that far yet!
it's just plan view of a garden.
I've checked in Paperview, but it doesn't appear in there either...

What version? Is the complete boundary visible on screen? can you post the dwg?

Taking your advice yesterday,
a) I reduced the area to hatch
b) drew a polyline and ended with 'close' command
c) went through the hatch panel
d) clicked on an internal point
e) it hatched!
but it hatched like this (see attachment) and then when I went back into edit the hatch, to make the lines closer together, the whole lot disappeared (!) and as you can see below 'unable to update hatch'...
here is some stuff copied from the command bar:

Any help would be great, but if I have found a bug, I going to have to abandon doing hatching in this drawing...

ahhh... someone went through the file and said to switch:
Propoerties/Misc/Linetype Generation/Enable
on...
and it worked!
thanks for your help all,
