Get Area Hatch Data Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the data about an area hatch in a drawing.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified drawing exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the drawing.
// 2. Hatches a face in the drawing.
// 3. Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
