Hi,
I insert x-refs from our clients onto our company drawings. i then need to hatch various areas, i have set up the design feature where i can drag the hatch i need from the tool palette onto the area of the imported drawing/x-ref.
autocad then analyses selected data/ internal islands and asks if i really want to do this yes or no? I say Yes, then autocad goes about inserting this hatch and this is the problem - it takes ages, five minutes maybe, as if its not responding - it is, but slowly.
i'm new to AutoCAD using LT 2006. Am i doing something wrong, is there a better way? One way i have found is to create my own boundry to the area i'm hatching over the top of the existing x-ref area, this seems a laboured solution, any advise gratefully recieved.
Steve
