AutoCAD LT - hatches are bleeding through problem

[jeff]

I made this drawing with various hatches.  I am using this drawing to make brass etches for a project.  The etcher states that the hatches are bleeding through.  This image shows the original drawing.

This drawing shows the bleed through when I select one area.  Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how to fix it please?

thank you,

Jeff Otto

based on your images alone, you do not have a well defined boundary to contain your hatches.

Draw the outline you want and use it in HATCH command instead of just selecting an area.

Thank you,   I will try that.  I attached a copy of the file I took screen shot on.

Thanks for the DWG file: you appear to already have the boundaries drawn

so you them instead of just clicking inside your busy areas
