    Default Get custom hatch patterns to show on Custom tab in Hatch dialog box

    Ok, I have used hatch before, but never had to upload custom styles before. I need help in how to get the hatch Window to have the custom hatch files (.pat) that I have downloaded to show up under the custom window. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Bill

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD 2007 forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    Hi

    One method...

    * Place all custom hatch pattern files in a custom hatch pattern directory / folder eg

    C:\AutoCADCustom\Hatch

    If you have a network, it would be best to place such AutoCAD custom support stuff there ( in my humble opinion ). Allows everyone to access one central point; allows for easier maintenance; etc

    * Add the custom hatch pattern directory / folder to your AutoCAD Search Path -> Options -> Files tab -> Support File Search Path

    * Your custom hatch pattern files will now be accessible / listed on the Custom tab within the Hatch and Gradient dialog box.

    Have a good one, Mike
