Hi can anyone shed some light on my problem?
At the moment im using Autocad 2002 and i am trying to create simple and multiple hatch patterns but each time i try to hatch items with the pattern the command line comes up with the following:-
Missing parameter on line 2.
?

Here is the simple code im using
*Hatch1, Hatch
45, 0,0, 0,.5,

any help would be most appreciated.

as I wrote in a different post:
"To do it yourself takes some real skill. I did some 10 years ago and it was tough. There are 3rd party softwares available for creating hatch patterns, here's one: http://www.fell-kernbach.de/
There are also millions of patterns available for free and for pruchase. try this one: http://www.autocadhatchpatterns.com/
If you do a Google search on "hatch patterns" you'll get everything you need..... "

For a real simple custom line hatch with a user defigned spacing, try this:
In the hatch dialog box, under TYPE, pick "USER DEFINED"
Set an angle and a spacing (relative to your drawing units) and WaLa!!

Hope this all helps......
