Enable Object Snap to Hatch

I have a several colleagues asking me, why they can’t snap to hatch object, just like when they use their old AutoCAD. Actually, you still can. It seems that Autodesk has disabled this feature by default, may be because performance issue. To activate it, simply open option. You can do it by typing OP then [enter] or by accessing through AutoCAD ribbon.
In option dialog box, drafting tab, in object snap options, turn off ignore hatch objects.

You can also set this option by changing OSOPTIONS system variable.
I snip this from help file:

0: Object snaps operate on hatch objects, and on geometry with negative Z values when using a dynamic UCS
1: Object snaps ignore hatch objects
2: Object snaps ignore geometry with negative Z values during use of a dynamic UCS
