Formatting Conventions in This Reference.
The boundary of each hatch object is defined by a path (or loop) that consists of one or more segments. Path segment data varies depending on the entity type (or types) that make up the path. Each path segment is defined by its own set of group codes. For information about abbreviations and formatting used in this table, seeHatch boundary path data group codes |
