In the Xref'd file the hatch shows up behind all objects but when I attach that drawing to another file, the hatch is above everything.
Help!
In referenced (main) file, hatch is beneath:
In paper and model space of the file that the above picture is referenced into
I have done the following:
Sent the hatch to the back
set the HPDRAWORDER to 1
hid the hatch and brought everything else to front
Regenall
HELP!!!
Thanks!
I would use either a transparent hatch or hatch on a transparent layer. Make sure you check plot transparency and check transparency on your display options. It resolves the overlap issue (display order). Did you try using draw order on your xref? send to back?

Draworder doesn't "follow" thru xrefs reliably. So if you have a hatch pattern sent to back in your base file, there's no guarantee that it'll still be sent to the back in the file you've referenced it into.
For 100% reliability of the draworder setting we've resorted to creating a separate xref file just for the hatching (like on a site plan, for instance). You can send an entire xref to the back of another xref and it'll work that way every time (it sucks having to do that extra xref file tho)
