Hi CA
Please note I've *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Tips & Tricks Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.
Thanks, Mike

Hi
And a quick forum search returned the following amongst others -
In need of Hatch Pattern
In need of Wood Hatch Pattern
Wooden Hatch Pattern
Have a good one, Mike
Thanks a lot Mike.
I am new at this forum, so did not know where to start.

I have asked for help before regarding wood hatch, and will do it again. Please provide information as to where I can get hatch patterns for wood.
Thank you
Frank
Have you tried your last thread?Originally Posted by fcapistrano
If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

Hi FrankOriginally Posted by fcapistrano
Please note I have *merged* you new thread into your "old" ( previous ) thread.
Why? - Both are requesting exactly the same information.
Thanks, Mike

Links to hatch pattern collections (both free and commercial) are at http://www.cadro.com.au/hatchkit/HatLinks.html
To bookmatch I think you will need to find or draw a suitable woodgrain pattern, mirror it to a second pattern and hatch on either side of the line dividing the two leaves with the two patterns.
To mirror a pattern change each pattern element definition line and save into a second custom pattern file (with a new pattern name):
subtract the first value (an angle) from 180
change the sign of the second value (Xorigin) and
change the sign of the fourth value (Xdelta)
--- For example if you had the following simple pattern for the right leaf
*WOODR,wood grain (right)

You could produce the second pattern by editing the first with a text editor such as Notepad, in MS Excel or by scaling in X by -1 in a suitable program.
