# Hatch Edit [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Index.md) → [User Guide](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/User%20Guide/(User%20Guide).md) → [Additional Pages](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/(Additional%20Pages).md) ## Hatch Edit In GstarCAD, we enhanced the hatch function.Now the users can operate this command and select between Boundary options: Pick Points, Select objects, Recreate or Delete boundaries on existing hatch, moreover it offers boundary options such as polyline or region. For example, if you have a specific hatch pattern and you want position it on your drawing, first you will have to redraw the boundaries of the hatch accurately and finally move the hatch to your drawing. If you try it this way, you will waste time.  To avoid this process you can perform the Hatchedit command. You can also perform this operation by double left clicking the hatch pattern or selecting it and right clicking the mouse, then select the option \> Edit Hatch. Then the boundary pattern fill will pop up. On right side you will see several options under Boundaries title: Let's try Recreate Boundaries.  If we select the option: Recreate Boundary, this will recreate or generate a boundary for the selected hatch. After selecting the option recreate, a prompt message will be displayed \> Enter type of boundary object Region / Polyline: You can select anything according to your need. Then after entering the boundary type, a prompt message will be displayed \>Reassociate hatch with new boundary? No? If we enter No: The boundary created will not be associated with the hatch which means if you stretch the boundary, the hatch will keep its geometry. After doing that, the boundary Pattern Fill window will pop up, then pick the option OK. See the pictures below:  Reassociate hatch with new boundary? Yes? If we enter Yes: The boundary created will be associated with the hatch which means if you stretch the boundary, the hatch will change its geometry according to the boundary. After doing that, the boundary pattern fill window will pop up, then pick the option OK. See the pictures below:  And finally, you can select the hatch and boundary and position them correctly in the drawing.  Now let's see, how does the Delete Boundaries option works? For example, after creating the drawing below and hatching several regions as a group, we can apply this option to clean up the hatch excess in a determinated region. See the following pictures:  Quickly, access the boundary pattern fill window by double-clicking any hatch pattern. After the window will pop up, select the Delete Boundaries option. Then a message will be displayed in the command line \> Select objects or Add boundaries: We selected the exterior lines of the middle object. Then press the Enter key after selecting the object. Then the boundary pattern fill window will pop up and finally select OK.
