2008 Problem

[Simple153]

Me and four colleagues have had 2008 installed. One of my colleagues can now no longer hatch!!! When he goes to hatct a dialgue box pops up and says
"acad.pat can't find file". When he keeps Ok these dialogue boxes and gets to the hatch dialogue box there is no hatches to select!!! Any ideas?

Cheers

Chech that the location of the .pat file is listed under "Support File Search Path" under the "Files" tab on the "Options" dialog.

Also place the acad.pat file in the correct folder......under Documents......do a search here...there are many references to that path here.....
