Hogfan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Could you please tell me where to save these to in AC 2008? I have them in apps folder in AC 08 and can't figure out how to get them into the hatch icon. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugha Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Add the folder to the Support File Search Path (Tools>Options ...) Patterns will populate Type=Custom in Hatch dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogfan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thank you so much!! These new hatch patterns are awesome. Thanks to everyone for your quick replies and help. Still learning and trying new things with cad!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancharlesbs Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi....I can donwload these, but when I select them in bhatch, the area remains blank. Any ideas? I'm using ACAD 2006. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogfan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have another question regarding these wood grain hatches that i got from PS Port. I lost my hard drive and have had to reload all programs and i dont have an apps folder in AC 08! Is this where you store these files if so, do i just create a folder in 08 for them and then goto tools,options,files,support file search path,then create a path pointing to them or what? I have totally lost all my previous info and trying to get back to where i had everything so i can create a good backup. Thanks in advance.

Dana W Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Can I just slap the *.pat files right in here? C:\Program Files\AutoCAD LT 2009\en-US\Aoem\Program Files\Root\UserDataCache\Support It worked for my AutoCAD 2007 but the support folder was in a higher level of the tree then. This one was much harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I would recommend putting them in a folder outside of your Autocad directory. That way, if you ever have to re-install, you won't run the risk of having them overwritten. Just stick them in a folder, then open Autocad and go into your Options dialog > "Files" tab and click on the "Support File Search Path". Next, click the "Add" button to create a new search path and then click the "Browse" button to select the folder containing your Hatch patterns.

Ya know, that is why I don't have my wood grain hatches any more from 2007. I shoulda remembered that myself. Thanks for saving me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasisontheplains Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just followed these directions, and now I can't hatch any thing. Says "acad.pat" can't find file. I never changed this file. I followed Cad64's instructions. Help please! Windows 7 AutoCad 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogfan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Where did you load these files, they must be loaded in the apps folder in AC!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
