Valid Hatch Boundary Not Found (when applying to newly drawn rectangle)

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

     It seems I'm having an issue where the application of a hatch pattern to a newly created rectangle is failing. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHv7dxkI94 

Just prior to the recording of this video, I created a rectangle using 'REC', then Isolated the object along with a cloud and delta. In addition, the properties pane shows the object as a polyline instead of a rectangle, but I converted it to a polyline after the first failed attempt at creating a valid hatch region (and just before recording the video). The video shows how I can create a new rectangle next to the cloud and the issue no longer occurs. It isn't super annoying, but it's happened twice in the last two days and I'd love to know why this occurs. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

   * Message/command/console logs showing the 'Valid Hatch Boundary Not Found' error were not appearing in the first half of the video... just look towards the end of the video*

      Thank You,

                James Kerfoot

Hi,

can you please share with us your CAD dwg that appear in your previous video for testing ?

"...the properties pane shows the object as a polyline instead of a rectangle..."

Note: The RECtangle command creates a polyline - there is no "rectangle" entity.

This hatch issue may be related to the rev cloud (and/or the "delta"). You can test this by putting a rev cloud (and/or a "delta") around (near) the new rectangle and then trying to hatch that.

Something that would be helpful, also, would be to let us see what actual "command" (or macro, more likely) is running when you use that particular "Hatch Out" (not sure because the video is fuzzy) Tool Palette pick.

Thanks @imadHabash! I'll post a copy of the dwg next time the issue occurs.
