Check for large coordinates in the drawing. See: Errors or performance issues when working with objects in large coordinate space. Freeze or turn off any Xrefs that overlap the area to be hatched. Freeze or turn off any complex geometry, such as furniture or complex blocks.
Also, why does AutoCAD freeze when I select a hatch? AutoCAD may freeze if you are working with complex geometries and the Properties palette is open due to the area of the hatch being calculated.
Also the question is, why is my hatching not working in AutoCAD? Under the Display tab in OPTIONS, check Apply solid fill, then press OK.
