thorobred Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 How did you not notice that? When you clicked on what you thought was a hatch, it was actually just a single line, and Autocad told you it was a polyline. Didn't that give you a clue? well the reason I didnt know is because I'm still a beginner at autocad, I'm still trying to grasp the basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorobred Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yes. You don't have that much in your drawing, and you can window select most of them. It will only take a minute to select, delete and hatch. well I only gave you like 40% of the drawing and it was hard enough trying to separate each section with a certain color pattern since it was overlapping into other areas.

Cad64 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well, I don't know what to tell you. Even if your drawing is 60% bigger than what you posted, it's still not that much work. If you want editable hatches, then you will have to do as I suggested and delete the lines and create new hatches. Try using the QSELECT command to select the polylines you want to delete. Or use the LAYISO command to isolate the layers that the polylines are on so you can select them easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 well the reason I didnt know is because I'm still a beginner at autocad, I'm still trying to grasp the basics I would really recommend getting yourself a book or enroll in a class then.

Cad64 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I like the books by George Omura, but check our FAQ for other options: http://www.cadtutor.net/faq/questions/18/What+is+the+best+book+to+learn+AutoCAD%3F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
