EROR IN IMPORT HATCH

[thinhphamkts]

THIS IS MY EROR (PIC). WHAT HAPPENED WITH REVIT ?

What does your Revit.pat file look like?
From the looks of that message, I'd guess your .pat file is empty.

MY REVIT IS REVIT 2011
I IMPORT IT FROM acad.pat in AUTOCAD 2007, AND HERE IS SOME FILES I TRIED. IF YOU HAVE WORKING FILE, PLEASE UP IT FOR ME. THANKS

You can't just import a .pat file directly from AutoCAD.
Although they are ALMOST exactly the same, there are slight differences.
The Revit file needs to have an additional line:
;%TYPE=DRAFTING
or
;%TYPE=MODEL
included in the description.
Again, I say - Take a look at your Revit.pat file.

And, no this did not change in 2011, it's always been that way.

i don't know how to add that line to revit file
here is my revit.pat file

pat is a text (txt) file. You need to open it (them) & add the "Model" and "Drafting" types as shown to one of each (save one as Model, one as Drafting). You can root around among your Rvt pat files to see the typical format.

sorry, i don't understand the way you show, can you explain about it more clearly

Do you know how to use Notepad?

Open one of the .pat files you uploaded in NotePad
Then open your Revit.pat file in Notepad

Look at them side by side and compare the differences.
Here's your BW.PAT

*bw,Basket weave brick pattern
0, 0,0, 0,8
0, 0,4, 8,8, -8,8
90, 0,0, 0,8
90, 4,0, 8,8, 8,-8

and here's a Revit pattern

*Triangles, Triangular grid
;%TYPE=DRAFTING
0, 0, 0, 0, 0.15
60, 0, 0, 0, 0.15
120, 0, 0, 0, 0.15

You'll just have to figure it out from there.
If you had opened your Revit.pat file, you'd have seen a great big description explaining how to create a pattern.

Sorry, we can show you how, but we're not going to do it for you.

what you need to do, is open of the CAD .pat files, in notepad, add the descriptor, for whether it is a model or drafting pattern, save the file, then you can load into Revit, for a working hatch pattern.

before i add, revit show eror in line 2, after i added, revit show eror in line 3, so i don't know how to fix
