cat3appr Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 hi i need to manipulate objects on top of a hatch ( sitting in its layer) and each time the hatch gets selected is really annoying because i cant see and move the other object properly. is there a way to freeze the hatch from being selected when hoovering with the mouse on it? many thanks!

ReMark Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Use a lisp routine that will hide objects only making them visible again once you have completed the task. Or.....you could have a dedicated layer called HATCH which could then be frozen or locked as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat3appr Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 of course i have the hatch on the layer. if i froze or lock it, it still gets selected when hovering into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I agree with ReMark. Just turn off the hatch layer while you're working and then turn it back on when you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
