You might prefer to use my ClassicArray add-on for this, but it will make no difference to the finished objects. Use the XClip command and select the array of spheres. Click an area or object to be hatched. On the ribbon, make any adjustments as needed: On the Properties panel, you can change the hatch type and colors or modify the transparency level, angle, or scale for the hatch.

In the Windows Explorer Window that appears, pick the Hatch drawing you created. As you just saw that AutoCAD is quite flexible to allow you to make hatch pattern directly using Superhatch and also with hatch code.
