I have a hatch pattern already in Auto Cad that I do not have in my "Hatch Library." Please refer to attached DWG. Everytime I select it, I get the "Error in reading hatch pattern" note. I would like to save this hatch pattern in my library so I can select it from the list/hatch pallette when hatching an area. Is there a way to transform this hatch into a code to enter into my *.pat file? Thanks

Search online for "GETPAT.LSP".

;;;CADALYST 10/05 Tip 2065: HatchMaker.lsp Hatch Maker (c) 2005 Larry Schiele
seems to work pretty well.

I was under the impression HatchMaker.lsp was for creating a custom hatch pattern from scratch not for extracting the code for a hatch pattern that came as a part of another drawing and the originator did not include the .pat file.

Ok, yes I misread the post.
