Selecting Multiple Hatch Boundaries

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:28:35 GMT

Hey guys,

I have a question regarding hatch boundaries:

The place I work at uses autocad to create drawings of downhole scenarios to send to customers to show them how our downhole tools are configured down hole. We have been using autocad since the early 2000's up until present day.

When we copy over the drawing to excel, sometimes the lines don't appear so we must select the entire drawing and "HATCHGENERATEBOUNDARY" to get the lines to show up. Over the course of 10+ years, our default drawings that we copy and paste from have sometimes up to 20 hatch boundaries set.

My question is, is there any way to select JUST the hatch boundaries and not the lines drawn or hatches? This would be much more productive to select all of the hatch boundaries and delete them, giving the drawing just the hatches and the original lines, as opposed to clicking on millions of hatch boundaries and deleting them one at a time.

Any input helps, I am in the office from 8-4, M-F and will check back to this post often to test potential solutions.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Is should work by click on the hatch boundary and use select similar.
