Creating a planting area

When creating plant boundaries or hatches, take a similar approach as if using the Hatch or Boundary command.

Create construction lines enclosing planting zones on a non plotting layer. Ensure the shapes drawn as construction lines form closed areas with other geometry.
Don’t use splines or ellipses as edges. These will cause the program to halt because regions will be created which can’t be offset
Minimise the view of the area where the boundary will be created. Zoom to show the extents of the area.
Turn off layers that include block objects or xref’s within the view. Blocks slow down the boundary creation process.
Sometimes it helps to move the UCS close to where the boundaries are being created, especially if the origin is a long way from the drawing model.
