Loading Custom Hatch Patterns

Loading Custom Hatch Patterns

Loading Custom Hatch Patterns

(OP)
I am trying to load hatch files from StoneCAD. In the past I have been able to take hatch patterns from various sources and locate them in a file within AutoCAD LT, then use them without issue. I have never touched a .pat file or written anything in notepad or word, just simply copied the .dxf files to a file on my computer and was able to use them through AutoCAD LT 2009. Recently I had to reload the software and I can't figure out where I would go to put these hatch files. Any ideas?

RE: Loading Custom Hatch Patterns

Custom Hatch patterns/ PAT-extension file rules:

1. File name and hatch pattern name must be one and the same.
2. One hatch pattern per file.
3. there must be a single blank line at the end of the definition in the PAT
file.
4. The PAT file(s) must be in AutoCAD's search path.
 

RE: Loading Custom Hatch Patterns

Hi,

or 5. You copy and paste the code into your *.pat file.
(aclt.pat & acltiso.pat)
You would have only one *.pat file. But do not copy to much patterns into this file.

Kate, what is with thread555-234411: Can't get rid of the imageframes?
