I have a rectangular hatch area and it also has circles inside where I need to have no hatch pattern. Is there a way to do this. The hatch area fills the circle area too.

The manual explains how to do that:

1.activate hatch tool
2.select all the lines: external profile and internal islands that do not need hatch.
3.select the properties for the hatch and click OK.

Thank you J-J,
Your advice worked just as you said. This was the first time I used the hatch tool. Thank you very much.
