Hi scrupul0us,

Did you ever find a solution to this?

If you could assist this would be greatly appreciated. 

I am having the same problem.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I also had the same problem and figured I'd chime in seeing that it wasn't resolved. Came across this from another thread and it worked for me:

1. Enter HATCHEDIT on the command line.
2. Select the hatch.
3. In the Hatch Edit dialog box, click Recreate Boundary.
4. When you see the prompt "Enter type boundary object", enter P for polyline or R for region.
5. When prompted, choose whether or not to associate the hatch with the new boundary.

It separates the line from the hatch so once that is done, you just delete the hatch layer,
