hatch crash

[Anonymous]

After hatching, then closing a drawing, Acad is crashing. I get the
attached event error imediately after bhatching and then upon closing the
drawing I get the warning and the recover drawing is not recoverable. The
event viewer seems to be picking up on a surface, however there is no
surface in the drawing. There is an xrefed drawing with a surface and when
detached, all is well. Any ideas.

Thank you,

Wow imagine, still a problem in C3D 2022.

@sbutler502  It's such an ongoing problem that you could only find a post from the year 2006 to "me too" with 😉

Or would you like help trying to fix the reason for the crash?

IME Acad does not like creating hatches through xref's. If the xref has the geometry required for the hatch then use NCopy (NC) to bring it into your file or copy/paste. Unload the xref's and hatch. Erase the linework if dynamic hatches are not being used to reduce duplicate data. The erased hatch boundaries are easily recreated from the Right-click hatch commands.

Also confirm the boundaries used do not contain pline errors (overlapping objects, null nodes, zero-length geometry, crossing objects) that drive acad hatches and their creators nuts. 🙂 Use Mapclean or create new boundaries with the boundary command.
