PAT files for this text it does not show up anywhere. One of the patterns I am looking for is called "rough-sq".

Then there are a number of patterns under the "other predefined" tab, but not as many as should be, and not any from the various. PAT files show up on the hatch pallette tab under "custom", but of course you can only choose an individual pattern, not see what is within a group like "archt.pat" for example PAT files, including individual patterns along with files named acad.pat, acad2, acadiso, acadlt, acadltiso, acado, archt.Īll of the individual patterns plus the grouped. However, I still dont see all the patterns that were available previously. PAT files into the D:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT 2016\R22\enu\Support directory and pointed there in the suport siles search path.
After you have drawn your hatch pattern: 2) SAVEHATCHTo change the SNAPBASE just type SNAPBASE at the command line and pick a point on the screen near the area you want to hatch. This will leave the world coordinate system, and the northings and eastings in your drawing, alone. In versions of AutoCAD prior to the 2006 release the proper fix is to change the SNAPBASE, that is the origin of the snap coordinate system. You can type either of them at the command line, or you can set them in the “Hatch and Gradient” dialog box during the hatch command. The HPORIGINMODE controls how the hatch object determines the default hatch origin point and can be set to a corner or the center of the hatch boundary.

The HPORIGN variable sets the hatch origin point for new hatch objects relative to the current user coordinate system. With the 2006 version of AutoCAD the HPORIGIN and HPORIGINMODE system variables were introduced. In civil drawings moving the objects or changing the location of the origin is typically not an option because it would destroy the coordinate system of your drawing. This typically happens when the area that you are hatching is very far from the origin (0,0) of your coordinate system. Giving you results that don’t look at all like your desired hatching.

Have you ever had a hatch pattern display incorrectly? If you are using a hatch pattern like gravel or concrete the sides of the intended shapes within the hatch may not line up properly.
