In the newer versions of the Hatch command it can be difficult to set Island Detection due to the fact that the newer version of the hatch command does not bring up a Dialog. You can still set this by launching settings under the command but this does require an extra step. You can also control this option as a System variable.
How to set Island Detection in the Hatch Command
1.) Launch the hatch command.
2.) Right click and select Settings. (See Figure 1)
