Autocad HATCH what's happening?!

[anarita]

Well, I've been working on this document the last year or so. Hatches were working just great. I passed it on to a friend so he would help me with some details, which included shadows (lots of hatches). When he gave it back to me, I continued to work on it and now suddendly my hatches don't work, at all. I click hatch everything looks normal then I proceed to select objects/pick points and I click enter and it appears to be fine except no hatch shows up. I've tried different types of hatch, scales, etc. Why is this happening? What should I do? At moments I find myself copying hatches already done and altering them by dragging corners to fit new places but this is quite time consuming.

Any suggestions or ideas?

I must say my friend's version was I think autocad 2011 or 2010 and mine is 2012. Could this be the reason?

What is FILLMODE set to? It should be "1" not "0".

[anarita]

I'm not sure what FILLMODE is but I typed it in command window:

Enter new value for FILLMODE <1>: 1

So it is set to 1.

Then on to step 2. Can you upload a small portion of your drawing with some hatching in it so we can have a look at it? We'll need a DWG file not an image. Start the process by clicking on the Go Advanced button in the lower right-hand corner.

I don't think I have that button? I'm not helping I know. :/

Here is the download link (it is the complete drawing because I couldn't get to that button - https://rapidshare.com/files/2341937...200_ultimo.dwg)

Even the smallest portion is about 10mb and it won't let me upload...What now?

[ReMark]

How big is this drawing file if the smallest portion is 10MB?

[anarita]

the file on rapidshare is 30mb or so but I can't understand why the portion is 10mb...it only contains like two classrooms one or two hatches...any suggestions on how to reduce file size? i've tried purging and so..

[ReMark]

Copy the following then paste it in your command line. Hit Enter. Then try to hatch. What happens?

(setenv "MaxHatch" "100000")

[anarita]

right now it says - Unknown command "SETENV". Press F1 for help.

thanks for your patience! don't give up on me please!
