Hi again Rick,
The previous reply may have been a more rigid approach than you required and you may have discovered that in the case you describe it is only necessary to explode the block to allow you to turn your hatches on and off.

I have done a little more experimentation and found that if you use the "From Scratch" method as described in the wiki, the hatches layer (and hence the hatches themselves) are not saved with the rectangle when you use the save button in the block list. This may have been the source of your frustration. If that is the case then try my original suggestion which does save the hatches layer as part of the .dxf file that can then be used as a block.

Thanks for asking the question. I have learned a lot in trying to answer it.

Regards

Paul
