Pickstyle-Hatch-Group-Selection
AutoCAD Help gives minimum information about
Pickstyle
variable.
Pickstyle...controls
the use of group selection and associative hatch selection.
0 No group selection or associative hatch selection
1 Group selection
2 Associative hatch selection
3 Group selection and associative hatch selection
This variable is pretty
useful, provides more flexibility with selection.
When
Pickstyle
= 3, that means one pick to select a group and one pick to select
Associative Hatch object WITH its boundary (no difference what picked: hatch
or boundary).
Video▼
If you
need to modify the group and still being able to quickly select Associative hatch
objects with boundaries, set
Pickstyle
to 2.
Video▼
In case you need to
modify (e.g. change color or linetype) of hatch or boundary and keep easy
selection of groups, then change
Pickstyle
to 1.
Video▼
And finally when you
need groups and hatches with boundaries as the separate objects,
set
Pickstyle
to 0.
Video▼
Remember: after any
modification of the group you can always restore the group as a single
object by changing
Pickstyle
to 1 or 3.
You can avoid accidental movement of Associative hatch and make
selection of hatched objects faster, when
Pickstyle
value is 2 or 3.
