Hello, Is it possible, please, to make a change in SelHatch0 in order to eliminate manual selection from the code? Entering SelHatch0 command + Enter to select the hatches and closing the command. Thank you

You don't need to select the hatches menually. Just <Enter> and all hatches will be selected automatically.

I want to use it in a script to automate deleting these hatches:
SELHATCH0 ERASE but if there are no hatches the code does not work.

What would you expect it to do if there are no Hatches? If it's part of something larger, and no Hatches interferes with its continuing, does it work if you use an actual Enter instead of a space in the Script, for the select-all option?
SELHATCH0
ERASE

I ended up using SELHATCH0
(if (ssget "I") (command "ERASE"))

I found a problem. VLX is selecting also the hatches with non zero area. I attached a file for testing.

No, this example is a typical object with a zero/undefined area (at least in AutoCAD 2025.1). Try the Properties palette or the AREA Object command.

I completely understand your point—it would be much more efficient if SelHatch0 could automate the selection process without requiring manual input. Streamlining this step would save time and make the command more user-friendly, especially for repetitive tasks.

We have added the command DelHatch0 to the new version of this utility (V1.2, see Download). The prompts are the same, but any complaining hatches will be deleted automatically.
