Adding a Custom Hatch Pattern to AutoCAD 2015 Adding a Custom Hatch Pattern to AutoCAD 2014 Revit Architecture 2018 – Custom Revit Hatch Patterns (Part 2) Import.pat file from AutoCAD. Easy 100+ Hatch Installation Instructions AutoCAD 2018. Installing Hatch patterns for use in AutoCAD has never been easier. When you purchase the CAD hatch patterns library from ArchBlocks.com you will be emailed a download link to download the 100+ Hatch Patterns v10.2c.zip file. A.ZIP file is a compressed file format that makes emailing.

Generally you can export a drawing with its fonts, texture, materials, references, data links etc using e-transmit but unfortunately, it can’t export custom hatch pattern file (PAT) with the package and you have to add it in the package separately.

But if you did not receive a drawing with PAT file then you can export it from drawing as well using the method shown below.

Exporting hatch pattern

Let’s assume that you have a drawing with custom hatch applied in it with name ZIGZAG. In order to export that hatch, you need to create its PAT file. Sound forge 7 completo portugues com serial cables. I am using a LISP routine in this tutorial to extract PAT file from drawing.

Download the LISP routine from this link

Extract it from the compressed package and paste it on the desktop. Also, make sure that your source drawing is copied to the desktop from which you want to extract hatch pattern.

Now open the drawing from your desktop and drag and drop lisp routine to the drawing as shown in the image below.

Now type GETPAT on the command line and click on ZIGZAG pattern present in drawing. This pattern will be exported as ZIGZAG.PAT on the desktop. For some cases the file is exported to C:Users[user name]Documents so if you are unable to find it on the desktop then look it there.

Importing hatch in your AutoCAD

Now you have this hatch pattern all you need to do is import it to your AutoCAD software, for this copy ZIGZAG.PAT file and paste it to support folder of the installation directory.

To locate support folder type OP on the command line then press enter, options window will pop up select files tab and expand “support file search path” tree there you will see the location of support file. See image below for reference.

After pasting the file launch your software if it is already open then close it and launch it again. You will now find ZIGZAG hatch pattern among all the patterns, and you can use it just like other hatch patterns.

Update

Some users are unable to use the original GETPAT.LSP file and they are getting this error

If that’s the case with you too then use this modified routine, all the steps are exactly the same you just need to close your older session of AutoCAD and start a fresh one to use it.

AutoCAD users and drafters often use hatching to represent the type of material that makes up an object, such as insulation, metal, or concrete. In other cases, hatching helps emphasize or clarify the extent of a particular element in the drawing.

For example, you can show the location of walls in a building plan or highlight a swampy area on a map so that you know where to avoid building a road. In mechanical design, it’s used to show the cut faces of cross sections.

These instructions give you a quick jump-start on the basic process used to create hatching and shows you how easy it is.

Follow these steps to hatch an enclosed area by using the pick points method of selecting the hatch area:

Start a new drawing, using the acad.dwt template for Imperial units or acadISO.dwt for metric units.
Draw a circle with a radius of 5 units (Imperial) or 50 units (metric). Draw a second circle inside the first with a radius of 2 units (Imperial) or 20 units (metric).
Start the Hatch command by typing H and pressing Enter or by clicking the Hatch button in the Draw panel of the Home tab on the Ribbon.
The Hatch Creation contextual tab on the Ribbon appears. Ignore it for now.
Move the cursor on the screen.
As the cursor moves within any enclosed area in the drawing, a quick preview appears to show you how the final hatching will look if you pick a point inside that particular area. Starting from outside the larger circle, move it into the space between circles, and then into the inner circle, and then back into the space between circles and note the changes.
Change some hatch options.
The quick preview updates as you select any variants or change any values in the Hatch Ribbon panels. Try different patterns. The three little arrows along the right side of the Pattern panel scroll through all the different patterns that are available. (Our favorite is Escher.)
Pick a point in the region between the circles and then press Enter or the spacebar.
Congratulations — in only a few seconds, you’ve done something that would have taken an hour or more in the days of pencil and paper.
(Optional) Change the diameter of the circle:
1. 1.Click the outer circle, and then click and drag one of the four outer grips to change the diameter of the circle. The hatching updates to match. (This process is known as associative hatching.)
2. Click the inner circle, and then click and drag its center grip to move it outside the larger circle. The “hole” in the hatching of the larger circle fills in, and the smaller circle gets filled with hatching.
3. Click the inner circle, and then click and drag its center grip to move it back inside the larger circle. The smaller circle loses its hatching and reverts to cutting a “hole” in the hatching of the larger circle.

When working with hatches, keep these tips in mind:

Place the hatches on a dedicated layer or layers. You can then easily turn hatching on or off.
Always use the Continuous line type for hatching layers. Many hatch patterns use noncontinuous lines that are generated by the hatching process. If you place hatching on a layer with a noncontinuous line type then the Hatch command tries to create each of its own noncontinuous line segments from noncontinuous lines and the hatching gets scrambled.
Modify each hatch separately. By default, when you select a number of separate, closed areas and then press Enter, the hatched areas are created as a single object. Choose Create Separate Hatches on the Options slideout panel if you want to be able to modify each hatched area.
Set the Draw Order drop-down list to specify whether the hatch objects are in front of or behind the hatch boundary or other drawing objects. By default, they’re sent behind their boundary, which is typically what you want. If a hatch is a different color from its boundary and if it’s in front of its boundary, the tips of the hatch objects produce a dotted-line effect along the boundary.
