Hatch Troubleshooting

[derek69K8U]

I'm having issues with some of my hatches all of the sudden. I'm getting the "error in Pattern File" message pop up when I try to apply the hatch. The thing is, the support path file has not been moved, renamed, edited in any fashion. The .pat file itself has not been altered in any way and the MAC has not updated to a new OS. Any idea why this would happen all of the sudden? I'd been using these same hatches for months.

I tried deleting the .pat from the support path folder and putting it back but that didn't work either. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @derek69K8U ,

Do you mean you could use those hatches in AutoCAD for Mac before, but now they don't work?

Where do you put those PAT files? Is it a separate folder on your Mac? Or somewhere on network drive?

Can you share some examples of PAT files with this issue?

@derek69K8U More often than not, that error usually means the hatch PAT file (or that hatch definition) you are trying to use is corrupt or... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-...
