    Default Hatch pattern error, making a "Hatch Code" .pat

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    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".

    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.
