Hi nino,

may be FillShapes can be alternative for you?

FillShapes

Menu: Draw – FillShapes…

Command line: FILLSHAPES

FillShapes can be used as an alternative to the Hatch command; for example, to represent solid woodland or a water-logged area in topographical drawings. Unlike Hatch, the FillShapes command allows you to set the distance between rows and columns of shapes and also the angle of rotation of the shape in the filling (do not confuse with angle of rotation of the filling).

FillShape is not associative; that is, when you modify the boundary of the filled area (for example, using the grips or the Stretch command), the fill is not automatically updated.

After running the command, the Choose Shapedialog box opens to choose the shape which is required to fill the enclosed area:
