An example would be 6<40<20. The 3 parts […] Some coordinates are easy to find. For example, to find the endpoint of a line, you just use the Endpoint object snap. But others are more elusive. For example, recently someone asked me, “I would like to ask if there is a simple way to select a center of a rectangle.” My answer was: If […] When you place a hatch inside a closed area, by default, the pattern starts at the origin of the drawing, which is usually 0,0 of the current User Coordinate System (UCS).
