Automatic Hatching
This is the default option. You can hatch any area fully enclosed by drawing lines or already hatched.
To automatically hatch a drawing area:
1. Press HATCH.
2. Pick Auto in START.
3. Indicate a point inside the area to be hatched.
The cursor will automatically track around the enclosing polygon and then search for any inner holes. Having established the inner and outer contours, Creo Elements/Direct Drafting will hatch the bounded area. If Creo Elements/Direct Drafting finds any gaps or incorrectly split lines in the enclosing polygon, the command is aborted and Creo Elements/Direct Drafting marks the gap or split line.
