Creating a Hatch to Back command toolbar button

This command was written by a user of Autodesk products, not Autodesk Inc. Therefore, the end user is responsible for any problems that may arise due to the installation and use of it.

This command creates a hatch pattern transparent to all objects within in the hatched area as well as the lines used to establish the boundary of the hatch. This is especially useful with the solid hatch pattern.
