Custom hatch inside block

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

I am trying to create a block with a closed irregular shape made from 3d polylines

now I want to hatch inside this closed shape (without using hatch command..) with user input angles for hatch

The way that I have tried to solve it I first created a block (closed spline and bunch of parallel lines on top of it.

then I constrained the lines to be parallel and defined a rotation parameter on one of the lines.

everything works so far so when I rotate the line with rotation parameter all the other lines rotate with it except I want the lines to be within the boundary of closed shape.

Then I learned that xclip will let me do it but It only works on block so I had to recreate another block from my original block to incorporate xclip but the problem is with the 2nd block I will lose rotation parameter I defined in the first block.

Is there any other method to do this?

I have attached a screen shot of what I am trying to accomplish. I just need a user input to define the hatch angle in the properties of the block.
Thanks.

Why don't you want to use an associative hatch and rotate parameter/action?

Because I want the hatch to be part of my block..

Thanks.
