Deleting a Specific Area of a Hatch

Hello All...

I have a rectangle which I've HATCHed. I have a second rectangle inside the first rectangle with the HATCH.

The second rectangle I wish to delete the HATCH with in this specific rectangle area, but leave the HATCH of the first rectangle.

Basically, get rid of the HATCH in my second rectangle so it is clear.

Thanks

AutoCAD 2016

I would just erase all the hatch pattern and redo it (pick in the space between the two rectangles).

Hatch > Pick internal point or....

If that seems like way too much work for you then use the WIPEOUT command (polyline option).

Trim command works with Hatch, depending on the release of AutoCAD you have.

As rkent said. The trim command works best for me.

So I'm doing something wrong with the trim command. The problem with wipe out is it deletes everything. On Trim, I select my rectangle with the hatch, but when I hover over the hatch area I want to get rid of, it tells me I cant trim this object (hatch)

Please tell us what version of AutoCAD you are using, it really helps since things are added over time. There is a place for that in your profile above your Location and Join Date.

OK, I did that, im on 2016 AutoCAD

create a small drawing duplicating the objects and the hatch and post here please.

The wipeout would only obscure, NOT DELETE, everything if it were applied to the larger of the two rectangles. Place the wipeout where it belongs around the perimeter of the smaller (inner) rectangle.

You could also edit hatch and then add an object.
