Try changing your FILLMODE, if it's set to 0 then change it to 1
I was having this problem as well. However, I did solve my problem. When you are in the hatch dialog box check under Options then Layer. Make sure the layer you want your hatch to appear on is set (could also set it to current). Hope this helps. For some reason this setting just changed on me.
Thanks for the help. I also having been hatching in autocad for many years and never had to select the current layer under options or a layer that was turned on.
Appreciate the help

Hi,
I too have been having the same problem, but with a twist. I can create hatch in some files but not in others, so obviously one would assume it is a layer problem, but that doesnt seem to be it. Also, if I bring in an xref hatch it will show up, but if the xref hatch is solid fill it only shows up as a diagonal line through the region.
Welcome to the community!
This may not be your issue, since this System Variable is stored in the Registry, so should be the same for all drawings (on a given machine, for a given user), but you may want to check the HPMAXLINES System Variable value. This sets an upper limit on the number of lines that will be displayed in a single hatch, and can range from 100 to 10000000. The Help says that the initial value is 1000000, but that is probably for vanilla AutoCAD. Mine was set to the maximum, 10000000, and I do not recall changing it since getting my current computer a few months back.
Hmmmm....HPMAXLINES doesn't seem to help, no matter how few or many I try.
It must be in my settings somewhere because I have discovered that if i just open a new drawing I can't seeem to create a hatch. It acts normal when I do it but nothing shows up. I can only seem to create a hatch if I open up older drawings that I previously created on my last computer, (I am working on a new computer).
