Hatch Not Wprking

[Anonymous]

I was able to hatch normally yesterday but now it is not working. I can click on hatch or type hatch and it works fine, I select a shape and the pattern is showing, but after hitting space/enter/clicking Close Hatch Creation, the pattern disappears and there is no trace of there ever being a hatch. This is not with a specific drawing either, it is not working no matter if I open a new drawing or one I had use hatch before.

Check the hatch layer isn't switched off / frozen.

Check that the Hatch scale isn't too large / small.

I have already checked this and it is not the layers or the scale. When checking all the patterns that are showing up, one of them seems to work fine while the rest don't. The pattern that does work is called "USER" and is just horizontal lines.

Is your support path correct. See the image below. If it is check the *.pat files in there to make sure they haven't been corrupted

I went through all of these and it all seemed fine. I tried using the 2020 version instead of the 2021 version and it works completely fine so I think for now I will just use the 2002 version instead of the 2021. Thank you so much for your help though!

2020 version** not 2002

How far away is your content from 0,0,0?
Is your HPLAYER command set to a layer that is off/frozen?
Are you in SHADEMODE other than 2Dwireframe?
Rotated UCS?
User hath spacing too wide?

Do you just need to reset the 2021 (or is it 2020, or 2022, I'm not sure from your many responses now) to fix it all? If you don't fix it there is a chance it will creep into the other versions.

I can make a circle right on top of the origin and hatch still does not work. The version in which it does not work is 2021. I am using 2020 right now for work. HPLAYER is set to the current layer which is not hidden or frozen. I am in 2D wireframe. My orientation is normal, being able to read "Top" upright. Even when I try hatching completely solid it won't let me. I can use HATCH command, and when I choose a point inside the shape it shows the preview. Yet when I hit enter, space, or Close Hatch Creation, the hatch disappears and when selecting inside the figure there is nothing. The only pattern that is working for some reason is one called "USER" and the other patterns that are appearing are all gradients. None of the gradients or solid work, only the pattern named "USER."

I just reset it, saved my personalized files on a zip file, and then reloaded them and hatch seems to work fine again. All the patterns are also available now. Thank you so much for the help!
