Thanks for the replies.

I have been using autocad since 1995 and quite obviously in that time have done a fair bit of hatching, that is why this one seems odd to me.

 

One instance of this problem was hatching a very distinct area. A rectangle formed using the rectangle command. There are no apparent over lapping edges nor othe regions that could confuse but if I select the area inside the rectangle I get the normal "selecting everything do you really want this" question.

 

So I re-drew the rectangle using polyline and made sure there were no chances of a gap for hatch leakage. Still the same.  I moved the rectangle out of the present drawing zone.....but not by much.  Still the same.  Then I moved the rectangle way off piste......around 100,000mm. It then hatched no problem and I could then move the rectangle and the hatch 100,000mm back.  The drawings is of a building 30 metres wide to give you an idea of how far I moved the rectangle to get it to hatch.

 

The comments all relate to the "pick points" method of selecting the hatched area which is what I have always used. If I zoom in very close to the rectangle then this can sometimes result in successful selection.

 

I have just drawn a range of rectangles over the drawing, some in the drawing and some way off the drawing line. Many of them refuse to be selected when zoomed out, but zoom close up and the selection works.

 

My confusion is I have many drawings over the years where selecting large complex parallel lines (walls in a large building) has worked without issue. Hence why I am confused that a simple rectangular selection can be taking so much of my time!  :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:
