is there any way to select the hatch from the table to which I linked the area previously to it using (field - object - area)

because I have a big table for room areas with over 250 cells all of them are linked to specific hatch

That's something you need to program. You can use lisp, VBA or .NET. You can get the object id that the field links to and then use that to select the hatch.

I get the lisp from a user on reddit many thanks to him

the code zoom and select the object from the linked field on the table.

(defun c:go ( / entinfo) (setq entinfo (entget (CAR (NENTSEL "Select Object to identify parent:")))) (defun get331 ( alst / ) (setq alst (entget (cdr (assoc 360 alst)))) (if (not (assoc 331 alst))(get331 alst)(cdr (assoc 331 alst)))) (if (assoc 360 entinfo) (progn (vl-cmdf "_zoom" "object" (get331 entinfo) "") (command "_select" (get331 entinfo))) (princ "\nObject does not contain a field.") ) (princ) )
