Hi,

would you try from command line to change HPASSOC system variable to 1 .

Command: HPASSOC
Enter new value for HPASSOC <1>:

Hi,

>> i can't use Associative property with hatch

You can't re-associate a hatch to an existing boundary.

The setting "Assicative" for hatches needs to be activated before you create a hatch. Then the creation of the hatch will store the information about i's borders to the hatch object and so every modification of any of the borders initiate an update of the hatch.

Whenever you already have created hatches without the information about the borders you can't tell the hatch afterwards to find it's borders (they even might not exist any more) ... and that's why you can't activate the associative flag after the hatch is already created.

If that helps: you can create boundaries for a hatch (which are not the original objects, but new created objects) and for that function you can tell AutoCAD to regenerate the hatch to be associative to these new objects.

Hope that makes sense, - alfred -

Hi,

>> now it's doesn't with new hatches

New information or changed information? Your screenshot shows "Hatch Edit" dialog ... which means you edit an existing hatch ...

For new hatches make sure HPASSOC is set to one, then start command _HATCH and create a hatch by "pick points" or "select" object(s). Finish the hatch command, select the hatch again and look to the property window, is the hatch associative?

Hi,

what object type is the border you selected to create the hatch?
Can you please select that border and show a screenshot with border and property window?

sorry about late Mr.Alfred.NESWADBA

i was trying to solve it by my self

if you need to know what i have please install "SPDS Extension 2018".

when i uninstall it the problem solved. but i need to keep this extension and solve the hatch program

again when i install the "SPDS Extension 2018" i can't edit boundaries hatch because this extension disabled it.

i don't know why it do that. but i hope to find any solution for this problem.

thank you and i'm waiting
