After creating a new pattern by editing my acad.pat file, I now get the error message "error in pattern file" when I first initiate the bhatch command and open the Hatch Pattern Palette. Once I click through the error message, the hatch command works normally. The error message does not occur after the first use of bhatch, and the hatch I created shows up in the hatch list and works fine. Even the thumbnail of the new hatch looks right. I haven't had any luck in searching for answers elsewhere. Anybody know what's going on?
