I created a associative and annotative hatch for a group of objects. It displays fine and the area measures fine. When I switch the annotative scale in the lower right for the whole drawing, portions of the hatch dissapear from the boundary objects - both visually and from the area in properties, When I switch back to original annotative scale, that area is still no longer there. In essense, parts of the hatch get deleted.
See the attached screenshots.

Tried a REGEN?

Yes. Many times. Regen and regenall.
The fact that the hatch insertion point shifts and the area # changes tells me this is more than a display issue that regen would fix.
Thank you Dean.
Here are the results of tinkering with these commands:
None of this has addressed the problem. It is just one problem as I see it: I actually lose geometry by chaning annotation scale. The area of the compound hatch changes. It is not a display issue.
I really think there is some sort of software bug here. I already wblocked out the problem hatch and boundary geometry and remade the hatch multiple times in this new simple drawing.
Is there a Z value other than Zero?

Not for the hatch. And the only other geometry is the regions used to create the hatch. So I don't think so. I will post the file
The problem occurs when I change the annotative scale to 1"=200' for example. Notice how the hatch disappears at the upper part of the drawing, even when you switch back to the current annotative scale.
The Hatch does not dissappear here: LT 2014
The Scale of the Hatch changes as I would expect for the three Annotative Scales you have assigned to the Hatch. 1:60. 1:100. 1:200
All other Annotative Scales when active do not affect the Hatch at all.
Ths is the same across all regions of your drawing.

See attached: I created a new single hatch across all 66 regions and it seems to have stopped the problem.
You're right Dean. That worked. Thanks for your help. I wonder why that happened? It is a little disconcerting as I could have missed that and continued working. I should have tried to remake the hatch again as you did. Did you select all objects at once when creating the hatch?
As an aside, I might switch away from using regions. I like that they give areas for compound shapes, but they are difficult to edit and lead to performance problems - even when I hover over a region in an xref, my system grinds to a halt.
Thanks again!
