However, I would still suggest following hugha's guide as to creating a new directory for these patterns. Hopefully this example pattern file will help you find any issues with your own!
Then the hatch pattern should now show up in your hatch list in AutoCAD (may have to reset AutoCAD I find sometimes before it appears) You can place this folder in the location of your choice even directly on your computer's C drive. We recommend creating a single temporary folder to store copies of all your hatch files. As you may know, hatches are saved as PAT (.pat) files. PAT and copy it to:Ĭ:/Documents and settings/*user name*/Application Data/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2009 LT/R14/enu/support (where *user* is your username and obviously your version of CAD will differ to mine) Save the hatch into AutoCAD and Path the hatch within AutoCAD. I've attached an example of one of my hatch files. But remember that the name of the hatch in the. I found it easier to get custom hatch patterns to work as a seperate. I suggest following hugha's guide above but if you HAVE to put it into the ACAD.PAT, are you making sure you leave two empty lines after the code you enter? As this is also a requirement for it to show up.
