gravel and concrete hatches not correct

when i use the gravel or hatch pattern it doesn't show up correctly. I saw where autodesk said to move to a lower coordinate and then hatch, or to set the drawing limits to include all geometry in drawing. I have no clue how to do this. Any suggestions?

The problem is distance from drawing base point (default is 0,0,0). In 2007-2008 you can change the hatch origin this will correct the problem. Open the hatch dialog and show more options arrow bottom right. On older versions you can change the base point to a location nearer the hatck.

select a point near the area to hatch...

then i normally reset it back to 0,0 (only 2d.. not 3d)

that's on ldd 04

in paperspace, move all entities closer to 0,0 & re-hatch. That should do it.

This has been bugging me for a long time. Hatching at the drawing origin is not a good solution for me because almost all drawings I use are georeferenced in a coordinate system that places the line work at approximately Northing = 5,950,000 feet and Easting = 2,145,000 feet. So, moving back and forth is very time consuming for every little change!

 

I'm not sure if this is the same in Land Desktop, but in vanilla AutoCAD and Civil 3D this method works perfectly and is very simple:

In case the above link breaks in the future:

  1. Enter the HATCH command
  2. In the Hatch ribbon, choose Set Origin and pick a point anywhere in the vicinity of your drawing area (you can also define a default origin from the dropdown menu)
  3. Hatch away

An alternate: upon entering the HATCH command enter the settings dialog by pressing T, then select your origin the same as before.
