How to restore erased hatch boundaries? (multiple)

You can use the AutoCAD command HATCHGENERATEBOUNDARY to batch-edit multiple hatches and restore their (previously deleted) boundary curves in one go. This command is available since version 2011.

For older versions or possible customizations of the boundary-restore procedure you can also use the following LISP utility defining the new custom command HGB (save it as .LSP):

;like HATCHGENERATEBOUNDARY (<2011)
(defun C:HGB ( / ss len n ename oosm ocmd)
 (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "HATCH"))))
 (setq len (sslength ss)  n 0)
 (setq oosm (getvar "osmode") ocmd getvar "cmdecho"))
 (setvar "osmode" 0) (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
 (while (< n len)
  (setq ename (ssname ss n))
  (command "_HATCHEDIT" ename "_B" "" "_Y")
  (setq n (1+ n))
 )
 (setvar "osmode" oosm) (setvar "cmdecho" ocmd)
 (sssetfirst ss ss)
 (princ)
); end HGB
