Why do hatches become difficult to manage in complex drawings?

[indiancad]

In detailed engineering drawings, hatching can become frustrating when boundaries contain many small edges, gaps, or overlapping objects. A hatch may fail to generate, fill an unintended area, or become difficult to edit after the geometry changes.

 

Increasing the gap tolerance can sometimes help, but it may also cause the hatch to cross boundaries that should remain closed.

 

How do you troubleshoot hatch problems in drawings with complex boundaries? Do you repair the geometry first or use a different hatching approach?

When I run into a situation like this, the complexity or the effort can become too much, especially if there's a deadline. In that case I'll draw a polyline along the border and use that as the boundary for the hatch. Of course the polyline goes on a nonplotting layer.
