Hatching small objects

I have a rectangle that is .0001 wide in the x and .100 tall in the y. It wont let me hatch (solid pattern) inside of it. I can if I rotate it 90 degrees or I stretch it wider. I can even rotate or stretch it back to its orginial position/size and the hatch will stay. Is there a setting that controls how small I can hatch?

Most likely you are not clicking inside that very skinny rectangle and missing it, or you zoomed in and it can't find the boundary. I can select the rectangle (yeah, that's an option for applying hatches) and it works fine in LT2015.

If it's something else, you didn't research it by drawing a larger rectangle and tryinf to solid hatch it to find out.

Youo can explore using SOLID command (usage explained in HELP) as an alternative to 'solid' hatching.

Are you using select object or zooming in and picking a point with part of the rectangle out of sight (selecting object works for me)

I am picking the point in the retangle with the entire retangle in view. Definately picking inside the rectangle. Selecting object does work. But I want to hatch one retangle of an array using object will hatch them all.

Unless you can see the entire object on screen, and the moon/sun/earth align, you should get in the habit or trying other methods to place a hatch.

Sticking to one method sometimes is not feasible.
