Hello!
I am struggling with the curve selection. There is a long region what I want to hatch in multiple section, and for this I need to select the boundaries. If I do it with "stop at intersection" it takes too long time. If I select it as a connected curve, it selects the complete region. Do I have a possibility to deselect some region after I do the connected curve selection - like deselect with "stop at intersection"?
I am really tired of clicking through the whole region with "stop at intersection".
Do you have any idea guys?

Example picture, this is not showing the real case,just a dummy sketch :)

I assume this is a drawing view and you are creating a crosshatch when you experience this issue. ?
The black background and the thin lines "says" that "this is probably an old NX Version" , - Is it ?
Is it that old that the selection method "Point in region" doesn't exist ? ( in the crosshatch/ area fill dialog)
If it exists, there should only be a single click in each region to be included. ( 4 clicks + Apply in your illustration)

Regards,
Tomas

It is NX11, just with a company setup, what makes the oldschool look. It has also the Point in region possibility, but due to a more complex shape (not like in my sketch) it takes 20 minutes to detect the region, and in many case it is not able to keep the contour.
