• To the pattern with HATCH
The hatch command in AutoCAD is used to fill an area or selected objects with a hatch pattern or a fill. Here’s how to use the command in a few simple steps:
1. Go to the Draw panel on the Home tab. Find the hatch icon in the bottom right corner.

3. Further specify the pattern on the Pattern panel.

4. Choose your desired method: “Pick Points” or “Select Boundary Objects”. The “Pick Points” will determine a boundary around the specified point. The “Select Boundary Objects” will allow you to manually select the boundaries of the area that you would like to hatch.
5. After filling the area, hit “Enter” to apply the hatch.
• To create a BLOCK
Draw the objects that you want in the block.autocad_tips_create-a-block-in-autocad-1
Choose Home tab> Block panel> Create to start the BLOCK command. The Block Definition dialog box opens.
Type a name in the Name text box. The name can have spaces.
You need to specify a base point. That’s the point at which you’ll insert the block. In the Base Point section, click Pick Point. Be sure to use an object snap for accuracy.
In the Objects section, click the Select Objects button. Select the objects and press Enter to return to the dialog box.
Just below, choose Retain, Convert to Block, or Delete. These options control what happens after you create the block.
In the Behavior section, you can make a block Annotative , force it to scale uniformly and choose whether to allow exploding.
In the Settings area, choose the block unit. You can choose Unitless but if you choose a unit, AutoCAD will try to scale the block appropriately when you insert it into another drawing. You can also add a hyperlink if you want.
Click OK to complete the box. If you chose Delete, the objects disappear. You can use the OOPS command to bring them back.
