I've abandoned the macro idea as I can see that there will be many difficulties in calculating the repeats for lines that can head in any direction.īut I couldn't bring myself to completely abandon the challenge. I had made a note of this thread as I thought it may be interesting to write a HatchMaker macro at some stage (don't know anything about HATCH_MGR macro that Roger mentioned - perhaps somebody has details of it?).

As each segment in the hatch pattern is repeated along its direction, it will be very difficult (probably not impossible, but close to it), to design a circle hatch with more than a dozen or so segments in each circle.
