HPMAXAREAS (System Variable)

Sets the maximum number of enclosed areas that a single hatch object can have and still automatically switch between solid and pattern hatches during zoom operations.

Type:Integer
Saved in:Registry
Initial value:100

Valid values are from 0 to 10,000,000. Starting in the 2012 release, hatches that are too sparse are changed to solid fills. To restore the legacy behavior, which leaves sparse hatches blank, set HPMAXAREAS to 0.
