Sub Example_AppendOuterLoop()
	' This example creates an associative hatch in model space, and then creates an outer loop for the hatch.

	Dim hatchObj As AcadHatch
	Dim patternName As String
	Dim PatternType As Long
	Dim bAssociativity As Boolean

	' Define the hatch
	patternName = "ANSI31"
	PatternType = 0
	bAssociativity = True

	' Create the associative Hatch object
	Set hatchObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddHatch(PatternType, patternName, bAssociativity)

	' Create the outer loop for the hatch.
	' An arc and a line are used to create a closed loop.
	Dim outerLoop(0 To 1) As AcadEntity
	Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
	Dim radius As Double
	Dim startAngle As Double
	Dim endAngle As Double
