Erase and replace it: it is the quicker fix. Seems to be broken somehow.

Just redraw it... it will be quicker for you. Something seems to not be working on that lower hatch.

Hi,

When I play with your dwg with these steps:

change the pattern type to predefined
then pattern name to SOLID

and run then _AUDIT ... AutoCAD shows this message:

Pass 1 100     objects auditedAcDbHatch(248)
   No Closed Hatch Boundary Loops
AcDbHatch(248)                    could not be repaired.  It will be Erased.

This means the hatch boundary seems to be defect.

So the options I see:

1) use a tool (or write one yourself) which goes through all these hatches, recreates the boundary, delete the hatch and create a new hatch, this one can then be SOLID.

2) (...not preferred, but if it's just for 1 plot) go the old way and change the pattern to e.g. predefined/ANSI31 and make the hatch dense enough so it looks like filled on your plot. But take care, that makes the display of this drawing slow.

The more important thing here is ... verify who is the creator of these hatches and inform them that the hatches are defect, otherwise they produce more and more defect drawings.

a manual method

working with Drawing4(autoCAD2007)

three new layers, name one NewHatch

Layer 1 on & current HatchGenerateBounds selected all the hatches enter

QSelect Polyline Closed = No

PropertyPallet change the selected to layer2

Layer 1 off

DrywallType layer off

3 sets of open polylines left. make sure the intersections intersect

Boundary & pick point inside the lines enter

Layer 2 off

Layer 1 on leaving a complete set of closed boundaries to hatch

Layer NewHatch Current & on and run the Hatch command on those closed polyline objects

DRYWALLTYPE1 on and qselect everything in that layer and delete if you don't have any further use for it.
