    Default Custom hatch file locations

    I have about 150 custom hatch patterns that I want to share with my co-workers. They are each a seperate PAT file and I have them located in a "...enu\support\pats" folder. I have had other people create the same folder for the hatches and add that path to the "support file search path" list in "Options." They still do not have access to the new hatches though. I have tried looking at my acad.pat and acadiso.pat files to see if they point to the new folder, but I cannot see anything in them. I set mine up so long ago I do not remember how I did it. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

    Default Re: Custom hatch file locations

    Patterns stored one pattern per file in a directory on the Support FIle Search Path should populate the Type=Custom list in the Hatch dialog.

    Select Type:Custom rather than Type:Predefined and see how you go.
