Area Hatch speed

Area Hatch speed

Area Hatch speed

(OP)
Hello,

Iam using Area Hatch to solid hatch electrical traces on my
drawing.  Hatching is incredibly slow most of the time and these are not complicated shapes.  Iam used to using 2d autocad to do these hatched traces and is much faster.

Is this slow speed normal for SW 2005 or could this be a hardware problem or something?

Thanks for your help,
Don
