I am not sure where the AutoCAD hath patterns went, just the standard ones. There are a few colored circles showing when I go to hatch. I tried to look for acad.pat and couldn't find it on the desktop. This in a desktop and is AutoCAD LT.

Search for ACLT.PAT as that is LT's default pattern file name.

Coloured circles could indicate where hatch boundary's not closed, perhaps?

It cannot find anything in the search on the c: drive. hmm, what does that mean?

Sorry the colored circles are in the hatch pattern menu. All the standard hatches are gone, just these gradient circles showing up.

Thank you for your information. I copied these files and then they showed that they were already in there. I looked again, and basically, only 9 gradient circle hatches show up and one user hatch. I compared the hatch command and bhatch command on the laptop where it works and all the hatches appear and on the desktop where somehow only these 10 appear. I am using the same command and I copied the .pgp file from the laptop where they are correct and it still doesn't work. hmm?

The .pgp file has nothing to do with hatch patterns.

This sounds like missing paths.
