Undoing a hatch explode.

[heinlema]

Hello All,

I am working in AutoCAD 2013 on a .dwg drawing. There is a section of hatch that was exploded at some point and I want to set the individual hatch lines back to a hatch grouping, but since it was done long ago, using the undo command is not an option. It there a way I can take all of the individual hatch lines and group them back into a hatch?

My goal is to get the individual hatch marks back to a hatch group so that way I can use the hatch editor to modify the hatch style. Is this possible? Hopefully this makes sense. Please let me know if  more information is required.

Thanks,

Matt

I'm sure it's not possible to recreate a hatch from the now exploded objects.  "Undo" would work if it occured in the current drawing session, or restoring a previous/backup of the drawing if one exists, otherwise I believe you'll have to recreate the hatch.  Depending on how the drawing is layered, recreating shouldn't be that difficult.

You could group the exploded objects into a block, but it still wouldn't be editable as a hatch object.
