Associative Hatches / Arrays

[Anonymous]

Hi .. 

I was working on autocad 2018 in my Macbook and i cant find where to turn on/off associative options for array & hatches. 

Is there anyway to use associative option in mac ?

Hi Appu,

You can change two system variables:
- ARRAYASSOCIATIVITY for arrays:

- HPASSOC for hatches:

Two questions:

1. Why on earth is associative hatch not the DEFAULT!!!!???
2. Why is there not a toggle in the hatch dialogue box???

Seriously - CAD has been around for decades and it seems that every time a new version comes out it gets unpicked and reassembled. We pay so much for this program. Autodesk sort it out this is truly insane
