How to install custom hatch patterns in AutoCAD using PAT files.Solution:
Copy the PAT files into the default Support folder (listed below) that AutoCAD uses to find hatch patterns. Added PAT files will cause hatches to be listed under the User Defined or Custom hatch menu within AutoCAD. Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10:- C:Users<USER>AppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD 20xxRxx.x<LANGUAGE>Support
- C:Documents and Settings<USER>Application DataAutodeskAutoCAD 20xxRxx.x<LANGUAGE>Support
- For AutoCAD 2009 and earlier, the default location is: C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 20xxSupport
- The 'AppData' and 'Application Data' folders in the above paths are hidden folders (see How to turn on hidden files and folders on Windows).
- ~Home/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AutoCAD 201x/Rxx.x/roaming/@<LANGUAGE>@/Support/Hatch Patterns
Note: The default path is specified in the Support File Search Path listed under the Files tab in Options. It is usually the first one shown, pointing to the current user folder.
Note: If there is no longer a .pat file of the old hatch use the express tool SUPERHATCH to try and bring in the custom hatch pattern.

Hatch Pattern Compatibility
The good news is that the hatch pattern format hasn't changed since it was first introduced years ago. Any hatch pattern you find should work with any previous or future version of AutoCAD!
2005 Hatch Pattern Snaps
There has been a change in behavior in AutoCAD 2005 regarding the object snaps on its geometry. In previous releases osnaps would honor hatches, in 2005 they are ignored by default. To turn on the snap to hatch, access the OPTIONS dialog (Tools menu), go to the Drafting tab, and in the lower left you will find the toggle.
Also there is a command line system variable OSNAPHATCH, set to 0 for off (no snap), 1 for on (snap).
Adding Hatches
This procedure will walk through the process of adding a hatch pattern to your system, all the way through the final step of adding the pattern to the AutoCAD BHATCH dialog.
Important Note: Autodesk changed the behavior of the BHATCH dialog beginning in version 2000. As a result of this change, the BHATCH dialog completely ignores the hatch slide contained in the slide libary. It choose instead to create a very small (nearing unreadable) swatch on the fly, which takes a significant amount of time if you have hundreds of patterns. As such this procedure may not be applicable unless you intend to compile your hatchs into a IMAGE menu.
Preparing the Pattern: The first step is to obtain or create a hatch pattern that you would like to add. For terms of discussion we will use the GRAVEL.PAT found floating on the web. I have no knowledge of the author. Note that this pattern does not have sufficient precision to properly display in large coordinate mapping, but should work well in most other applications. It has been reproduced here.

We could place this code into the file GRAVEL.PAT, place it into a search path, and refer to it at the HATCH prompt. However since our final goal is to have this pattern available in the BHATCH dialog, a little more work is required.
Adding the pattern: To add the pattern code to the ACAD.PAT file, it is first recommended that the existing ACAD.PAT (AutoCAD support directory) be backed up. In the event that something goes wrong we can restore without having to reinstall.
Open the original ACAD.PAT in a notepad or other ascii editor. It is a good idea to do a search to make sure that the pattern definition you are about to add does not already exist. If you do not care about the order that your pattern appears in the BHATCH list, then simply paste the contents of the pattern definition at the end of the file. If you would like to maintain alphabetical order, carefully find the appropriate position in the middle of the list and insert your pattern there.
Be sure to save the ACAD.PAT file (ascii text only).
Preparing a slide: The next step is to prepare a slide representing the appearance of the pattern definition. The following steps can be used to create a hatch representation in R14. For users other than R14, you may need to generate a polyline (with the same coordinates), hatch the polyline, then erase the polyline.
Command: HATCH
Enter pattern name or [?/Solid/User defined] <ANSI31>: GRAVEL
Scale for pattern <1.0000>: 5
Angle for pattern <0>: <ENTER>
Select hatch boundaries or press ENTER for direct hatch option,
Select objects: <ENTER>
Retain polyline? <N> <ENTER>
From point: 0,0
Arc/Close/Length/Undo/<Next point>: 16,0
Arc/Close/Length/Undo/<Next point>: 16,10
Arc/Close/Length/Undo/<Next point>: 0,10
Arc/Close/Length/Undo/<Next point>: C
From point or press ENTER to apply hatch: <ENTER>
The reason for the particular rectangle coordinates of 16x10 is to maintain the 1.6:1 ratio that the other hatch slides in the ACAD.SLB are created with.
Before we prepare the slide however, it is recommended that we enter paper space and create a viewport to represent the slide. Slides are clipped at the viewport boundaries, and it would be difficult to maintain this without the viewport.
Command: TILEMODE
New value for TILEMODE <1>: 0
Command: MVIEW
ON/OFF/Hideplot/Fit/2/3/4/Restore/<First Point>: 0,0
Other corner: 16,10
Command: ZOOM
All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale(X/XP)/Window/<Realtime>: E
Command: MSPACE
Finally we are ready to prepare the slide. However before doing so it is recommended that you create a unique directory/folder to contain this and other slides. We will need to add more slides to this directory to rebuild the ACAD.SLB. For terms of this discussion, will use C:SLIDES.
Issue the MSLIDE command, when prompted in the dialog enter C:SLIDESGRAVEL.SLD for the filename.
At this point we have our slide in the directory and ready to rebuild the ACAD.SLB.
Preparing to rebuild the ACAD.SLB: Just like we backed up the ACAD.PAT file, it is a very good idea to backup the ACAD.SLB file. You will also find this file in the AutoCAD support directory.
Since the SLIDELIB.EXE tool supplied with AutoCAD cannot simply append your slide to the SLB file, we will need to rebuild it from scratch containing the contents of the original SLB along with your slide.
Rebuilding the ACAD.SLB: Since SLIDELIB.EXE is an MS-DOS based tool, open an MS-DOS window and change to the slides directory.

The easiest way to supply input to SLIDELIB.EXE is to prepare a file using the DOS DIR command. In this case we are also using the /ON switch to order by name, and the /B switch for bare (no size, date) listing. Finally with the > sign we are redirecting the output to create (or overwrite) the file SLIDE.INP.
C:SLIDES>DIR *.SLD /ON /B > SLIDE.INP
Now that we have an input file for the SLIDELIB utility, we can call it from the AutoCAD directory. For the most convenience, you may want to move or copy the SLIDELIB.EXE from the AutoCAD directory to the slides directory to eliminate the cryptic DOS path.
The Calling Command: C:SLIDES>C:PROGRA~1AUTOCA~1SUPPORTSLIDELIB ACAD.SLB < SLIDE.INP
If SLIDELIB.EXE was copied/moved:
C:SLIDES>SLIDELIB ACAD.SLB < SLIDE.INP
Overwriting the original ACAD.SLB
Use your preferred method to copy the new ACAD.SLB from the slides directory to the AutoCAD support directory, overwriting the old one.
The changes will be in effect immediately, simply issue the BHATCH command and see the rewards for your efforts.

Here are the instructions for installing the 100+ Hatch Patterns for AutoCAD. The first set of instructions are for installing the AutoCAD hatch patterns in AutoCAD 2018, AutoCAD 2019, and AutoCAD 2020.These instructions are the same for AutoCAD LT 2018, 2019, and AutoCAD 2020. There are also instructions for installing the hatch patterns for AutoCAD R14 to 2014 below this first set of instructions.
100 PLUS HATCH PATTERN LIBRARY
CompugraphX Version 10.2C
Installation instructions for AutoCAD® 2018, 2019, 2020 and AutoCAD LT 2018® 2019, and 2020
Installing Hatch patterns for use in AutoCAD has never been easier. When you purchase the CAD hatch patterns library from ArchBlocks.com you will be emailed a download link to download the 100+ Hatch Patterns v10.2c.zip file. A .ZIP file is a compressed file format that makes emailing large files easier and quicker. You will need to download the .ZIP file to your hard drive and then uncompress the file so that AutoCAD can access the hatch patterns.
Installation Steps:
Step 1:
Once you have purchased the 100 Plus Hatch Patterns you will receive a download link from ArchBlocks.com. (If you don't receive the download link, just email Kevin at ArchBlocks.com and he will be glad to quickly email you the .zIp file) Download the .zip file to your hard drive.
Step 2:
Uncompress the .zip file. Typically you will be asked for the location that you would like to place the uncompressed folder and files. We recommend you place the 'Hatch' folder on drive ' C: '
The folder that is created will look like this: C:Hatch
Step 3:
Now open your AutoCAD. You will now need to tell AutoCAD where to find your new hatch patterns when you use the Hatch command in AutoCAD.
Type the command CONFIG at the command prompt. This will open the Options dialog box. (see screen capture below)
Select the ' Files ' tab.
Then select the ' + ' plus mark next to the Support File Search Path folders. This will expand the folder to show all the folder search paths that AutoCAD uses to find support files.
Next: over to the right select ' Add..'
Then select: ' Browse.. ' now browse to the new folder ' C:Hatch ' and select it, then select Apply, then select Close .
Now enter the ' Hatch ' command at the command prompt, or select the command from ribbon bar. This will open the Hatch Creation ribbon tab with all the Hatch command options. If you select the hatch pattern preview pop down menu you can scroll down to view all the new hatch patterns previews that you just added to your hatch patterns library.
Every time you open your AutoCAD now you will have all 350+ hatch patterns available to use for your projects.

Hatch This folder contains all of the files necessary for use with AutoCAD, ACAD LT, and ACA.
100_v10.mnu This partial menu file contains the 100 Plus pull-down with 20 frame icon menus.
The menus display 365 of the CompugraphX 100 Plus Hatch Patterns with easy access for
selections.
Hatch.slb This slide library contains the 365 CompugraphX slides required to display the hatch
patterns. The 20 bonus hatch patterns are not included in the slide library.
Pattern Definition (.pat) Files The 385 hatch pattern files are also located within the Hatch folder.
Drawing (.dwg) Files These five drawings show all 385 patterns for reference in 8½” x 11” format.
The same five drawings are also shown in the 100PlusPatterns.pdf file for reference or printing.
The 20 bonus hatch patterns are not shown in the 100 plus menu, but are shown in the menu
supplied with the AutoCAD program.
The following instructions assume that you are familiar with the fundamental Microsoft Windows® commands and your AutoCAD program directories.
The entire Hatch folder should normally be placed in the root directory of your hard drive, typically C: drive, or in the same drive that contains your AutoCAD program files (Usually found in Local Disk C:). Psychology notes in hindi pdf.
Note: This folder may also be used for additional customized stand-alone hatch pattern files. This folder is placed directly in your root drive to help keep the hatch pattern description text as small as practical.
The CompugraphX hatch pattern library may be added for use with your AutoCAD 2009/2010/2011, ACA or AutoCAD LT program as follows:
Step 1 Adding the Hatch Folder to the AutoCAD Search Path
- Open AutoCAD and right click on the screen drawing area and a dialog box should appear. Optional method is to use the menu browser (“The Big Red A”) and then pick on “Tools” to display the dialog box. Users that have ACA must pick on the menu browser and pick on “Format” to display the “Tools” dialog box.
- Pick on “Options…” which is located at the bottom of the menu and then the Options dialog box will appear.
- With the “Files” tab selected, go to the top of the menu and double click on the “Support File Search Path” to show the list of AutoCAD (or ACA) folders in the search path.
- Go to the right side of the Options dialog box and click on the “Add” button. A new empty box will appear at the bottom of the list of files and folders.
- Assuming that C: is the drive that contains your AutoCAD program, type the following into the empty path box:
This entry must contain the same drive letter and file folder name used when first copying the folder to the hard drive. - After the correct text is entered in the box, click on the “Apply” button located at the bottom of the Options dialog box.
- At the command prompt, type: MENULOAD and enter. The “Load/Unload Customizations” dialog box will appear.
- Pick the “Browse…” button. A new dialog box appears named “Select Customization File”.
- Pick the down arrow in the 'Files of type:' and choose 'Legacy Menu Template [*.mnu]' .
- Click on the “Look in” menu button and highlight “Local Disk (C:)” and then highlight the folder Hatch that is displayed in the window.
- Pick or highlight the 100_V10 for 'File name' and click on 'Open'.
- The “Load/Unload Customizations” dialog box will open. With the File Name box showing “C:Hatch100_V10, click on the Load button.
- Wait a few seconds and then pick “Close”. AutoCAD will compile a new Customize User Interface (.CUI) file.
- In AutoCAD 2011, all the new hatch patterns are now loaded into the Hatch Creation palette's Pattern drop down menu. You can scroll to your named pattern as shown below;
In AutoCAD 2009 to 2015 versions the new palette menu does not show the newly loaded hatch patterns, so the pull-down menus should be used. In AutoCAD 2010 and 2009 to use the older AutoCAD version's pull-down menu bar, the MENUBAR command must be set to '1'. Command: MENUBAR = 1 (0=off). The newly installed patterns can then be accessed from the “100 Plus” menu option that is located on the top menu bar and/or the menu browser. In the AutoCAD 2008 and older version the menu bar (as shown below) is the only way to access the 100 Plus Hatch patterns.
The first two drop down menu items will display the same boundary hatch menu that is available from within the 'Draw' menu. The third selection (as shown above) provides CompugraphX hatch patterns displayed twenty icons at a time with a slider control. A double click on the name or the icon will invoke the hatch command and the name of the picked hatch pattern. The remaining two bars provide access to the CompugraphX geologic and soil hatch patterns. For associative boundary hatching, the patterns are accessed from the “Hatch and Gradient” dialog box. From “Type:”, pick “Custom” and pick on the solid black filled swatch or the button to the right of Custom pattern box. This will then list all of the custom patterns in alphabetical order. Highlighting a pattern name will display an AutoCAD generated graphic in the box located to the right of the slider control.
ATTENTION: In AutoCAD 2015 and all older versions, the ArchBlocks.com 11 bonus hatch patterns and the 2015 new 20 geological patterns can only be accessed through the Hatch command's Custom pattern menu as shown below;
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
You may add additional custom hatch patterns to the Hatch folder.
There are five drawings located in the Hatch folder that show all of the 365 hatch patterns. The drawings were created with an 8 ½” x 11” format and may be printed out for reference.
USERS OF AutoCAD 2011, ACA 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011
Hatch patterns may be applied in several different ways. Be sure to read the information supplied by Autodesk, Inc. including the “Overview of Hatch Patterns and Fills” and other related AutoCAD 2011 help files. Note that there is an option to use the “AutoCAD Classic” mode that includes the use of the “Hatch and Gradient” dialog box, etc.
HATCH ERROR MESSAGE
Hatching large areas and/or using dense patterns may cause the following AutoCAD error message to occur: 'Hatch spacing too dense or dash size too small'. AutoCAD 2009 through AutoCAD 2011 sets a default limit of 1,000,000 segments for hatched areas. The default MAXHATCH setting may be increased using the SETENV AutoLISP variable.
Example: At the command prompt enter the following: (setenv 'MaxHatch' '5000000'). The MaxHatch variable is case sensitive for AutoCAD 2009 through 2011, so you should use an uppercase M and H. Also note that a larger number decreases the performance of AutoCAD. The maximum allowable number that may be used is 10000000. Use the trial and error method to find the preferred value for your particular case.
