Identify the Open Gaps:

The error message indicates that there are gaps between the boundary objects.

Zoom into the area where the hatch is to be applied and inspect the boundary for any visible gaps or discontinuities.

Use the JOIN Command:

In AutoCAD, type JOIN in the command line and press Enter.

Select the boundary objects that define the area to be hatched.

The JOIN command will combine collinear segments and close any small gaps between the objects, creating a continuous boundary.

Reapply the Hatch:

After using the JOIN command, attempt to hatch the area again by typing HATCH in the command line and selecting the boundary.

The continuous boundary should now be recognized, allowing the hatch to be applied without errors.

Inspect the Dimension Properties:

Double-click on the first dimension to open the text editor. Notice the dark solid color background behind the dimension text.

This indicates that a background mask is enabled for this dimension.

Check the Background Mask Settings:

Select the dimension and go to the Properties palette.

Under the 'Text' section, find the 'Fill Color' or 'Background Mask' setting. Ensure it is set to an appropriate color (e.g., the same as the background).

Compare with the Second Dimension:

Double-click on the second dimension and observe the absence of a background color during editing.

In the Properties palette, confirm that the 'Background Mask' is either disabled or set to 'None.'

Adjust Settings if Needed:

If you want both dimensions to have a background mask, enable the 'Background Mask' for the second dimension and choose the desired color.

According to the AutoCAD for Design and Drafting documents1, the EXTEND command allows you to extend objects to meet the edges of other objects. To trim objects instead of extending them, you can hold down the Shift key while selecting the objects1. This will invoke the TRIM command within the EXTEND command.
