ReMark Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you can access a flash drive or an external hard disk then you can create a hatch pattern file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuboss Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sir thanks for your replay, Please tell me sir how can i install that using flash drive. Regards_____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Create a new hatch pattern file on your flash drive. Add the path to this file in your Support File Search Path. Make it the second line in the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuboss Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sir thanks for your replay, Sir can you explained in detail.i don't know how to add path to the file in my Support File Search Path.thank you Regards______ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Tools > Options > Files > Support File Search Path. Expand the listing by clicking on the "+" sign. Look to the right. Click on the Add button. A blank box should appear at the end of the list of paths on the left. Type in the path. Example: Let's assume your flash drive is designated as drive F. The path would be F:\myalct.pat. Once the new path is added click on the MoveUp button to relocate this path near the top of the list. I recommend putting it in the second position for starters. Click the Apply button followed by clicking on the OK button. Are you using aclt.pat or acltiso.pat currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You're most welcomed Shibuboss. Early in my career I worked in the civil engineering field as well. What type of project are you currently working on? You call yourself an 'artist'. Why is that? What is your background/education? Working with AutoCAD had to be a big challenge to you then. Keep up the good work. Your determination, in the end, will allow you to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
