ActiveX/COM

Sub AddHatchEntity(ByVal iSymbolIndex As Integer)

Parameters:

iSymbolIndex - index location for adding the entity.

-2 - HATCHFILLENTITY
> 0 - Use VCGetSymbolIndex to retrieve the symbol index for creating a symbol definition.

Notes:

VCAddFillEntity and VCAddHatchEntity allow hatch and fill boundaries to be specified by any other entity types available in Visual CADD™. A hatch or fill entity is created by adding a reference to the entity type, building the boundary from other entity types and the sorting the boundary to finish the hatch or fill entity. VCSortCurrentHatchFillEntity forces Visual CADD™ to evaluate the input boundary entities for hatching or filling. The input entities must form a closed boundary.
