For those who are waiting to upgrade to AutoCAD LT 2013, you may want to wait until there is a service pack available to fix the HATCH command. I upgraded today (via subscription), and I am having the same problem with the HATCH command that was present in AutoCAD LT 2012 (pre Service Pack 1). I am trying to hatch using the Add: Pick points option for my boundary. LT completely freezes up! The drawing size is around 2.8 MB. This is very frustrating! HATCH Add: Pick points works on small drawings...but I need to HATCH on my current drawing, and shouldn't be required to draw PLINES around everything! Rant is over.
These are problems that did not exist in prior releases.
This forum is the support I was pointed to.

And I do not have these issues.
If I could send you my install of LT I would.
Unless we or someone else can replicate the issue you have there is little that can be accomplished remotely.

Share a DWG file with instructions to replicate the problem, let's all have a look and test.
If it's a new problem, it's a new problem: report it (as we all will if true) and they will eventually fix it in this release or next, or one after that (see my earlier post).
>>>...For software that costs thousands of dollars I expect perfection...<<<
That is a very unrealistic expectation for and from anyone or any entity, even from yourself.
Why can't you post a DWG file with the problem, and give instructions on how to replicate it? I am curious about this resort to everything except providing an actual DWG file.
Everytime you try to hatch? Mine doesn't crash that often. I actually stopped using 2013 and went back to my trusty 2010 version. Try this. Create a new user in windows to log in as. Log out then log back in as the user you just created. Start cad and see if you can open it. Let me know what happens. Sent from my iPhone 5

Delete sensitive information from the file (client name, your company name, street address etc.) before posting: remember to test for the crash and be able to repeat it before uploading.
Yes
This drawing has had audit and purge run on it to no avail. When I click on "Pick Points" and then pick inside the boundary, ACAD will completely lock up.
I can copy clip the boundary to another file, hatch, and copy into the original file fine.
The hatch freeze and the missing "X" to close the windows are new to this version. My previous versions did not have this problem.
Concerning the X: The upper right of your Workspace does not look like this?
WBLOCK your problem drawing into a new file. Does this help the Hatching issue?

Correct, mine has the entire "X" / Minimize / Maximize dialog box missing on the drawing full windows and the drawing recovery dialog box. I have to do a split screen to get the "X" to reappear. On the drawing recovery, I have to close ACAD and reopen to close the dialog box.
The close on ACAD main program are fine.
Nor this?

One more thing to ask.
This screenshot is from the QAT. The dropdown says Hide Menu Bar.
Are you showing this of Show Menu Bar?
Or from the Command line: MENUBAR = 1
