A CAD drawing hatches incorrectly and reports an area of zero for a closed-looking outline. The likely cause is

  • A.the drawing having been created at plot scale
  • B.a gap between two entities at a corner
  • C.the outline being drawn on the wrong layer
  • D.the hatch pattern scale being set too large

Answer: B

Correct answer: a gap between two entities at a corner

Hatching and area measurement both need a genuinely closed boundary, and an outline that merely looks closed at screen resolution may have a gap of a fraction of a unit at a corner. Zooming in on each corner, or using the drawing’s own boundary check, finds it - and snapping to endpoints in the first place prevents it.
