There are two ways you could go about this.

1. Draw your hatched rectangle then place your circle within it. Make the circle color the same as your background color and select 'filled' in the tab 'select' / 'Line Type' drop down menu. Copy and move the circle 0,0 and change the 'Line Type' to line and recolor the line the same color as the line/hatch color.
2. Treat the rectangle as a "see through" object. The instructions for this is located elsewhere in the forums. Way to much to go into here.
   

Which way you do it depends on what you want to do with the finished drawing.

Hi,
    Thanks for this. I can't seem to make it work. Although the circle hatching disappears, I can't get an outline of the circle using the copy and move part of your solution.
Thanks anyway.
Regards,
Alan
