Associating Hatches with Boundaries
When hatches are associated with their boundary objects, the boundary objects themselves define the extents of the hatch fill, pattern, or gradient. Altering the shape of any of the boundary objects necessarily changes the extents of an associated hatch object. For example, the rotor needs to have a larger diameter and by associating the hatch with the outer circle you will be able to get the hatch to expand to fill the larger rotor simply by changing the diameter of the circle.
When hatches are not associated with their boundary objects, altering the boundary objects does not change the shape of the hatch.
In the following steps you will re-create the boundary objects from the last hatch pattern created in ...
