Wood hatch patterns?

[fcapistrano]

I am doing some architectural interior elevations. Has anyone done hatch pattern for wood grain - book matched? Where can you get good hatch patterns?

Hi CA

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Tips & Tricks (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=180) Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

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.
