AutoCad hatching problem!

I'm trying to hatch an object in an AutoCAD file. The hatch pattern I'm trying to use is "AR-CONC". Now normally when I use this pattern everything comes out fine, but in the file I'm working in every time I try to use this pattern (or any with complete circular objects) these objects are not coming out whole! The right sides of all these representations are broken ...or incomplete. I seem to remember years ago this problem ...but can't remember the fix. ANYBODY have a clue as to what's going on, and how to fix it? THX!

Depending on what version you're running, SNAPBASE or HPORIGIN should fix your problem. If your version is older (Before 2006 I think) move your Snapbase somewhere near the area you want to hatch. If it's a newer version set your Hatch Origin to "Default to boundary extents".

The problem arises because of "large" coordinates (say > 1,000,000). Can be fixed in earlier versions by changing value of SNAPBASE, or creating a new origin(UCS), nearer to the work area. Beginning in 2007(?) there's a hatch setting regarding coordinate base that also cures this.
