Hatching, machine crash

[Anonymous]

When hatching my machine always freezes when I scroll all the way to the bottom of the pattern selection box of the hatch ribbon, especially when I hit the "go to end" arrow.

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk/AutoCAD Forums !

1) Please we are speaking about which version of AutoCAD : 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 ?

2) Which Service Pack ?

3) 32 bits OR 64 bits ?

4) Your PC has Ram - How much : 4 / 6 / 8 / 12 / 16 / xx Gb Ram ??

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for joining us for Answer Day!

I'm sorry to hear you're encountering this freeze while trying to use the hatch patterns in AutoCAD. Do you have any custom hatch patterns installed, or are they all out-of-the-box?

You can try the solution in this knowledge article, which has resolved this kind of freeze for other users.

Please let me know if that helps you resolve the issue, or if you need further assistance.

Hi @Anonymous,

As Victoria suggests, you might have some corruption in your hatch pattern files. Please update your post if you are continuing to see the issue or Mark the post(s) that helped you resolve the problem.
