How do I find the .pat file location on my computer

[peells]

I am trying to find the .pat file location (s) on my computer and am not having any luck (Never had the need to find them. could someone help a fella out?

Widnows Search not working for you?
Or are you looking for a hatch pattern that is only in existence inside a DWG file?

(findfile "acad.pat")

Do you have any idea whether it's a pattern included in acad.pat or acadiso.pat, as opposed to one defined in a .pat file of its own?  If it might be the latter, then this at the command line should tell you where it is:

(findfile "YourHatchPatternName.pat")

I finally found it but not with your suggestion

Thanks for all of your Suggestions on this, One of the persons answering this said it depends on which version you are using in order to find the .pat files ours was buried in a company specific AutoCAD Users file which we direct our machines to (don't know if it is a good or bad thing but it works) Thanks again everyone, Oh and I just was given this, "Where are the .pat files located" so that may have added to the difficulty of finding the location.

yeah my bim guy wanted to know the location of all the .pat files and no specific one so me searching for specifics would have not worked so well in this case, And Like I said in my original question I have never had occasion to search for them or a need.

@peells What method did you use?

[peells]

Good old fashioned Windows explorer with a starting point of "AutoCAD User Folder" and then we found it!! and I have never in over 20 years had any reason to find any such files, (they were in fact hatch patterns for our BIM Guy)

Two ways to do;

1) Windows folder reaserch ''acad.pat''  (acadlt.pat for LT version) → this lead to ''hardware Hatch patern's code''
2) How to install custom hatch patterns in AutoCAD  → this  leads the folder for adding new .pat hat...
