I have already introduced a AutoCAD line, AutoCAD polyline, AutoCAD circle and AutoCAD rectangle.

In this post I will introduced hatches in AutoCAD. You can create hatches with the HATCH command.

Hatches are compound objects that can have a pattern. The pattern can be:

• lines
• dots
• shapes
• fill colors (solid fill)
• gradient fill

First, type in the HATCH command.

Next, pick a pattern.

Now click on the object that you want to fill with the hatch pattern. E.g. a circle.

The AutoCAD HATCH command will accept any area that is completely enclosed by objects.
