By launching
the HATCH (or BH) in the command line and selecting an enclosed object or
boundary, you can quickly fill an area in your drawing with a repeating hatch
pattern. The pattern simply fills the area and then stops when it reaches the
perimeter of the boundary to be hatched.
So you have downloaded or created your own AutoCAD pattern. Now you want to
use it. But how?
There are two ways to do this: you can combine your custom pattern with
acad.pat or add a support file search path. I personally will recommend the last
one. You may loose your custom pattern if you somehow need to reinstall
AutoCAD or your Windows account corrupts. Or you may just make your acad.pat
corrupt.
There is a comment that if you add user defined hatch below that section, then
when you upgrade your AutoCAD this file will be migrated properly.
However, I still avoid this method.
Now save this file. Now you should immediately see your custom hatch in pattern
list.
If you place all your custom hatch in your own folder, you can simply add support
file search path. Open AutoCAD options (type OP then enter). In files tab, below
support file search path, add your folder.
Click OK to accept this changes, then when you activate hatch command, you
should see it in your pattern list. If you cant find it, you may need to change pattern
type to user defined.
If you use hatch dialog box, you can change pattern type to custom or user defined.
I always use the last method, and avoid the first one. So I never really have
problem or may be benefits of the first method. If you use the first one, why do you
choose to use it? Will you recommend it instead of the last method?
