Hatches and .pat files

[Dan]

I have recently got hold of many additional hatches from a variety of sources. One of them being hatchptterns.com, now i have changed the .pat file as described and all the new hatches work fine, my question is that if you have 5 or 6 different .pat and .slb files with different hatches on each do you have to change the location of the files each time you want to use a hatch from a different source OR can you load them all in to a directory ?????? I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for any assistance

That web site says:



Easy to install
Just copy and paste the hatch code. Full instructions are included.

Friendly, free support

Maybe you can contact the author.

Just load them in a folder and tell AutoCAD to serach that folder. Use options->files tab to set the folder path.


You don't need slide files anymore, AutoCAD will read the pat file and generate a preview.
