2012, hatch window

[stevedb]

hello.

In using this new-- to me-- version of map, I've just tried making a hatch, and notice that it no longer calls up the window that it used to call up in the older versions-- 2009 and earlier, for me.

Is there a setting that I can set to ensure that the hatch window comes up?

I rarely use the default type/pattern name and scale settings, and I prefer to select my boundaries, instead of selecting a point within an area.

TYIA.

At least two options to get that in 2011 should be the same in 2012.

First just enter T at the command line after you enter the Hatch command.

Second way is click on the Options  arrow in the ribbon tab Hach Creation as shown in the attached image.

thank you Murph.

Exactly what I wanted.

ok, I finally figured out what your screen shot showed.

It appears that the hatch editor not only provides the old window, but a ribbon version also activates..... This is a new thing....

so many choices, and so little time to work through everything.....
