Bill Tillman Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have a rectangular shaped hatch, it's for a 1/4" tall by 4" long space. I was wanting to edit it's boundaries but what I see when I select it is only a single blue dot grip in the middle of the hatch. There is nothing at the perimeters like I am expecting.

Cad64 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 A single grip means the hatch is associative. If you stretch the rectangle the hatch will move and stretch with the boundary. If the hatch has grips at all the corners then it is not associative. If you stretch the rectangle, the hatch will not move and stretch with the boundary. If you want to see all the grips at the corners, select the hatch and then go into your Properties palette, in the "Pattern" section, and set "Associative" to No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I get all grips on hatches Associative or not. Can you post the drawing? Is the hatch at 0 elevation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Here's what I get. As you can see, the associative hatch has one grip in the center and the non-associative hatch has grips on all corners. Maybe there's a setting that controls grip display?

Metachik Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It sounds like you want to change the hatch boundaries, but not the rectangle, so you've got to lose the hatches association with the rectangle... click on the hatch > right click > hatch edit > untick associative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macruairidh Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I have autocad 2018 and my grips do not show up on hatch patterns. Associative is off but still no hatch grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Try this Hatch and boundary objects are always selected together in AutoCAD products (autodesk.com) Also check GRIPMULTIFUNCTIONAL value. Try posting a drawing if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macruairidh Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 What should GRIPMULTIFUNCTIONAL VALUE BE? Mine is set to 3. I have never had this issue in other versions of AutoCAD. I attached my a screenshot of my Hatch Editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Check your HPBOUND System Variable setting, as shown in the screenshot, taken from SYSVDLG (to accessthe belly of the beast). I believe you want it set to "1". You may need to check your HPBOUNDRETAIN variable setting too, and I believe you want it to be set to "1" also. In the screenshot, with the HATCH Settings dialog box fully opened, you can see the Island Detection Settings too, in case neither of the earlier suggestions has gotten you back on the tracks? Edited January 22 by Dadgad additional variable consideration again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Should be grips with or without a boundary. With my settings, I get grips on all Hatches, associated or not region boundary or polyline. Macruairidh states no grips on any configuration, not sure a Sysvar will help, with the settings posted, at least on some configurations. Hence the need for a drawing.
