Hi.
Is there a way. or macro or somthing to pattern area (Geopak PowerCivil v8i SS2) so that the cells stay in tact and like chess board.

Usually, you can make the cell using more than one group of elements and when done correctly, will pattern like you describe. Imagine the cell made by using the elements that would fall inside a square that was drawn with its corners at the bottom of the V of the top and bottom pairs of symbols.

How to ceep the cells from be exploded?
Why is that important?
Because our customer runs jobs trugh a standard checker and exploded cells don't pass it.
Years ago, on the VAX in IGDS, we used a reference file with a patterned area to display patterns where we needed to. We simply attached it and clipped it as needed.
Not all hatches are cells. What do you do when you hatch an area?
