polyline fill tied to hatch

Anonymous
Not applicable

I want  to have polyline not filled and boundary area hatched.

they seem to be tied to the fill command.

I am in autocad 2018, It works in older revs.

If you select a hatch, then in Properties Palette set Associativity OFF... isn't it what you want?

FILL command affects all objects: it cannot be exclusive to one object type. In old and current versions, it is not exclusive.
Do you just need to use MLINE command instead of PLINE?

I may misunderstand what you are asking, but if you have a Polyline with width, and you want its width filled with a Hatch pattern  instead of being filled solid:

PLWOH.PNG

try PLWtoOutline&Hatch.lsp, with its PLWOH command, >here<.  Look through the file before you use it, for things you should edit about the kind of pattern you want -- edit the pattern name, "un-comment" some lines of code, etc.  [It has the limitation that it works only on Polylines with constant  or global  width.  There may be things "out there" that can do the same with varying width -- try some Searching.]

The image doesn't really describe what you're after....  If what you mean is that you want the Hatch pattern to not fill the entire  Polyline including where it crosses over into the "C2" area, but rather to fill only the area inside  the Polyline that is also outside  C2, that would be the difference between picking internal points and selecting objects.  In the BHATCH command's dialog box, play with these two options:

Or, if you're at the command-line prompts in the HATCH command, you're probably in select-objects mode, but you can change to picKing internal points instead with the appropriate option:

If those don't do it for you, a more detailed explanation, or an image including and identifying both "right" and "wrong" outcomes, would be helpful.
