I'm trying to make a custom hatch using circles perforated metal, what that is but how to make a custom hatch with circles random circle holes on a sheet of metal. when i print out my CAD drawing the dimensions are gray and not very visible while the drawing is nice a dark and very visible.
View 1 Replieswhen I create a shape and fill it in for a colour ( so I can send it to a screen printer to be put on our product ), I get an issue with DN-P-2726.dwg. I was trying to recreate the part being painted red, so the screen printer overlays with the black and grey.

When I open old drawings with these hatches in them, they load just fine...but I am unable to hatch any new areas with these hatches (because they are not listed in the hatch library)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a custom linetype with solid circles at a specified distance along the custom linetype (see attachment). I have tried using a shape, the special Wingding character but cannot get the result I want. I've tried the hatching method, again with no luck. I've went through the discussion groups, online content, etc. but cannot get it to generate the line the way I want. I see a few people that have been successful but I cannot get it to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two, seemingly identical, installations of AutoCAD LT 2012 on two machines in our office. Both machines have the MEASUREMENT variable set to 1.
The acadltiso.pat file of both machines has been customized with the addition of two hatch patterns and both of these work just fine.
In addition, the support folders of both installation also have identical sets of custom hatch patterns. On one of these machines thumbnails for these are visible and all works entirely as expected. However, on the other machine, none of these custom hatch patterns appear at all. In fact I cannot even see the custom hatch pattern tab!
When a co-worker is trying to hatch using pick point, multiple red circles start appearing and choke up the program. He is not even picking inside the area where these gap indication circles are appearing. I have had him adjust the hatch gap tolerance but am wondering if I can turn off this behavior entirely?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load hatch files from StoneCAD. In the past I have been able to take hatch patterns from various sources and locate them in a file within AutoCAD LT, then use them without issue.
I have never touched a .pat file or written anything in notepad or word, just simply copied the .dxf files to a file on my computer and was able to use them through AutoCAD LT 2009. Recently I had to reload the software and I can't figure out where I would go to put these hatch files.
I have been migrating dozens and dozens of .pat files from one version of AutoCAD to the next for many, many versions. Most recently in AutoCAD 2013 the .pat files were stored in the C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2013SupportPatterns - worked fine. During the migration to 2014 I received an install error report stating that this subdirectory did not exist and could not be created. Alternately it stated that the new default path C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupport will be used instead.
At first I created the Patterns subdirectory where it could not be done automatically. No luck. Then I placed the Patterns subdirectory in C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupportPatterns and no luck.
I am exporting to Adobe and AplhaCam, when ever I send DXF or DWG files, the Circles or arcs are segmented.
How do I make not so segmented?
Where do I save custom hatch pattertns in autocad? What file? Support? Do they have to be saved one at a timeor can they be saved in a folder?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've not done custom hatch patterns in the past, but I'd like to create a custom hatch pattern using a block I have. Is there an easy way to do this?
Would like to make a 8" CMU (section) hatch pattern, as an example, to use in automated sections that I generate.
Pretty easy to see where I'm headed w/ this.
Any easy conversion tool or the ability to explode the block, select everything for a hatch pattern and click "OK".
Likely there isn't, but it never hurts to ask when starting out.
I have added my custom hatch patterns to the .pat file and they aren't showing up. Is there a certain step I am missing in order for this to work? Is there an easier way to load my custom hatches in CAD 2010 that I am not aware of?
View 2 Replies View Relatedrecently installed Acad R2010 and I need to install new custom hatches but don't know how.... I got working with Autocad since 1990; probably it was R2.0. This is the first time that I try to do it, so I don´t want to mess the whole thing misplacing my .pat files.

When I trim these horizontal line that are Cross-Being with two circle the Remaining line segment is shorter than real distance between two arcs I thinks its happening?
Also I attached 7 pics I try show my problem.
Also when I want obtain horizontal distance with distance command or by linear the intersection is not start from circumference.

I am trying to create a hatch for board and bat siding. There are parallel lines at 1.5" apart that repeat every 8". When I try to use the hatch I get the following message:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to build an installer to deploy some custom hatch patterns. Getting the hatch patterns onto disk is easy; however, I need to add this location as a support path (presumably via a registry entry) but the number of potential registry entries is huge given the combination of AutoCAD releases and verticals. The other option I had was to deploy the hatches to the same location as ACAD.PAT and search for this location during installation.
FYI - I plan to use Inno Setup but am not opposed to another installer.
I've made some customisation in the ribbon of a 2013LT version.
Now some customisation functions are only available on the Full, so I download and install it but I can't find a way to import all those custom settings grom LT to Full...
Seems it works only from LT to LT or Full to Full..

A grip of a hatch is not snapped to another, In the attached screenshots, I tried to move the indicated grip to a target one but no “sign” for snaps is shown!
The screenshot and the dwg are attached. How these two grips can be snapped?

Here's a new one for me. All the hatch in a drawing file 'vanished'. Can't pick it, can't see it - layer is on and thawed.
I used FILTER to select all the hatches on the layer, and wblocked them out. File is attached, just rename from the .zip extension to .dwg
I still can't see them, or pck them. Auditing will remove the associativity, but that's about it. Still nothing to see.
Our engineering department users are facing this problem that the hatch patterns are not visible. Everytime they have to use the FILL command when they open any drawing. They are facing this problem with some dwgs, when anybody else opens the same drawing this happens again. After that they are unable to see the hatch patterns in any drawing. After using FILL it becomes visible but restrting the AutoCAD reverts the setting back so they unable to see the hatch pattern again. After opening that dwg in all files they are unable to hatch.

But to creat PAT file that what I want to know.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I try to hatch a larger area, my AutoCAD 2013 program freezes and I need to close the program and restart it, losing anything I hadn't saved prior to the freeze. In addition, certain areas won't hatch because the program is telling me I have open boundaries which is not the case.
