    I have hatched a 1500mm X 1500mm (5ft X 5ft) area but it shows on the screen
    as a solid yellow block.
    When I zoom in close the pattern is there so I suspect it is a spacing or
    scale problem.
    I can not seem to fix it.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,

    It is a scale problem, I assume you have the hatch scale set to 1, try .1 or
    ..01. If that doesn't help go the other way. 2 or 3 and so on.

    Anthony,
    Have you tried to "Purge" the drawing, that always seems to save some space.

    Hi. I have a question. I have some files that are 2 to 6 MB apiece that
    has alot of hatching on them. Is there anyway to cut down the file
    sizes? This is taking up quite alot of space on one of the hard drives
    that I have. Anybody's advise would be helpful. I have had to zip up
    these files in order to save some space. Thank you for your time and
    advise.

    Thanks, increasing the scale from 1 to 20 fixed the problem.
