Hiding a specific hatchtype on drawings easily

I work on a large project with deliveries in various phases. Therefore there are crosshatches on all the drawings greying out the areas that are not part of a specific delivery.

 

Often these hatches needs to be turned off, to print drawings for other purposes. Until now I have selected all the hatches one by one and used "hide in view". This is very time consuming.

 

Is there an easy way to hide a specific hatch in a easy command? Without time consuming workarounds? 

 

I was thinking to put all the hatches in question on its own Workset, but found out that you cannot put a hatch on a workset. 

 

Something that works like Layers, where you can put the hatch on, and turn on and off would be much appreciated. 

 

"Select all instances in entire project" could work, for hiding them, but how do I then turn them all on across all the drawings with a single easy command?

It thought you might do this using worksets but you cannot put filled regions on specific worksets.

 

Best bet is to create a filter for detail items and use a rule to isolate by type name or by some other parameter as @azad.Nanva said.

Then apply to your views.
