Filter command, hatch pattern name select box greyed out

[dseaton]

Hi All,

When using the filter command with the select filter "Hatch Pattern Name",  the "Select" button is greyed out so you cannot select a hatch pattern name to filter. It has to be typed manually. I'm sure on previous versions (this is 2019 LT) you could press the select button. See attached.

No, see my picture from Autocad 2013

Use [add selected object] if it is possible in your situation..

Yes, you can do it that way, but sometimes I want to erase all the solid hatch patterns and have to either type it in or add selected object (which is not easy for hatches) when it would be much easier to select it like you can in the "linetype" filter using the "select" button.

>>" or add selected object (which is not easy for hatches)"

Thats not a problem, except the one pattern: SOLID

Yes i know what you mean (and think about your PICKSTYLE setting when you select hatches to delete them)

Solution for all often use filters: Save your filterlist by give a senseful name!

I open FILTER dialog, use my predefined filterlist "AllSolidHatchs" and shorter and faster it isn't possible (with LT).

Command: FILTER
