Tiger Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 uhm....is the boundary closed? Is it very small? what is the boundary made up from? And could you at least frase it as a question! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 it is not small, it is closed, the boundary is made of a polyline. I cannot even match properties with a solid fill hatch within the same dwg. should I clse down AD & try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khama Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 AutoCAD message: Unable to fill the boundary with solid. You will find that the set of lines that you are trying to fill with a solid, are not fully closed. Check all the angle changes in the shape, if that brings no success then draw a polyline from point to point and close it after input. The other alternative is to extend all the lines so they intersect, and then choose the "boundary command". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 closed AD & reopened also redefined boundary works fine now. thanks for the quick responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elistuy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I found my probem (similar to the one above) was solved by using pedit on the polylines and using close. after that my problem was solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filan1a Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 AutoCAD message: Unable to fill the boundary with solid. I have some issues where some points of lines or pline are out of plane (z is diferent from others) and that causes a nonplanar figure which can't be hatched. i solved it using flatten command of express or some lisp z0 that i found in net. have a nice time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieEatsSushi Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have had this problem before as well, and I'm not sure if you started your drawing from scratch in CAD? Or did you convert it from another program (Visio, Pro-E, etc.)? Most likely not huh?? Haha. Well. It was worth a shot. When I converted Visio files to CAD drawings.. I couldn't hatch anything, and it drove me insane! Gl though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anunseenruler Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I had the same problem. I had a closed polyline that hatched fine with any other pattern than "Solid". I kept getting the "Could not hatch boundary with solid" error. I then realized that my UCS was not set to "world". Set it to "world" and it hatched no problem.
