hatch grid to dense to display
Steve Gordon
there was a post to the group re hatch density and the variable associated
with control of the number of lines in a hatch object.
the message is no longer available to me and i need to increase the size on
my r14 installation.
could anyone rember what the variable name is and where to find it.
i dont think it was in the setvar section .
thanx
Steve.

A new AutoCAD environment variable MaxHatch controls the hatch
density. You may get the following AutoCAD message when you hatch:
"Hatch spacing too dense, or dash size too small."
You should increase the size of the MaxHatch environment variable for the
hatch to properly fill cavities.
MaxHatch Settings
AutoCAD will not create a hatch pattern that consists of over 10000
segments. The limit is set by the MaxHatch setting in the registry. This
limit can be reset to any value between 100 and 10000000. The value can be
changed changing the setting with the setenv function. For example, to
increase the value to 100000, you would type the following at the command
line:
(setenv "MaxHatch" "100000")
Note: The AutoLISP setenv function is case-sensitive so MaxHatch must be
entered as shown in the above example.
To check the current value for MaxHatch, type (getenv "MaxHatch") at the
command line.

From the autocad Help:
MaxArray and MaxHatch Settings
AutoCAD will not allow an array that creates over 100000 objects. The
limit is set by the MaxArray setting in the registry. This limit can
be reset to any value between 100 and 10000000. The value can be
changed by changing the setting with the AutoLISP setenv function. For
example, to increase the value to 150000, you would enter the
following at the command line:
(setenv "MaxArray" "150000")
AutoCAD will not create a hatch pattern that consists of over 10000
segments. The limit is set by the MaxHatch setting in the registry.
This limit can be reset to any value between 100 and 10000000. The
value can be changed changing the setting with the setenv function.
For example, to decrease the value to 8000, you would type the
following at the command line:
(setenv "MaxHatch" "8000")
Note: The AutoLISP setenv function is case-sensitive so MaxArray and
MaxHatch must be entered as shown in the examples.
