Recreating the exploded hatch as hatch again

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there any lisp to recreate the exploded hatch if we don't have the out side polyline?

Hi,

you may try to isolate ( Layiso) your hatch if it's have a unique layer name . then you can start a new hatch procedure .

it's the easiest way that it could help .

If you're past the point of being able to Undo the Exploding, I'm afraid you're out of luck -- an Exploded Hatch pattern becomes just Lines, and AutoCAD has no way of knowing that they once had any relationship to each other.

[In the case of your sample drawing, it wouldn't be hard to recreate the rectangle, using point filters .X and/or .Y along with ENDpoint Object Snap to find where the corners were.  And there are routines out there to find the collective extents of a selection of objects, which you could also use to define such a rectangle.  But both approaches depend on its being a plain rectangle and orthogonally oriented.]
