Hi There ,
I want to custom hatch without super hatch to make it adjustable ....
i have curves and it is difficult to make it can someone help me to make that with hatch code ....
thanks in advance
Making a Custom Hatch Pattern
A hatch can only create straight lines, so you need to break your curves down into straight line segments, but then the hard part is that a hatch pattern doesn't work by joining these lines to make it look like a curve, each individual segment just forms a dot dash pattern and the trick is finding where your individual segments will repeat.
I always use this site as a reference. And it is well worth the effort to take the time and grasp the concept of creating your own patterns. One simple method is to choose an existing hatch (a very simple one) and try and reverse engineer it, making changes to it to see how it works.
thanks sir ,
I can neglect curves and consider it as straight lines like this picture can you help me to make hatch code of it ?
Thanks sir ,
but it make big markers
i can neglect curves like this picture can you help me to make code of it ?

the file you have sent make a solid hatch and i tried more and more to justify scale of it and it can't be right ....
If you're talking about @hugha 's pattern attached to Message 6, it works for me [after making the file and pattern names the same]:
You would need to say more about the relationship of the repetition of patterns -- in an orthogonal grid rather than staggered? how close together? etc.
Your drawing doesn't use that pattern, but one called TIMBER, which is apparently not just a renaming of this pattern. And it's not coming out solid as described. What is the TIMBER Hatch in the drawing for, and how does it relate to what you want to do?
Another thought: have you tried SUPERHATCH? With that, you could have your curves.

Hatch patterns need to have some kind of repetition. Just in orthogonal columns and/or rows arrangement, and with the extents of your original image pieces essentially touching, there are lots of possibilities:
We really can't do anything more for you without some direction on these questions.

you make hatch from my first shape that with curves sir ??
No, I only copied your curves around in a few different kinds of patterns to show some possibilities for the nature of the repetition. You would need to show us what kind of repetition pattern you want. Whatever that is, the real Hatch definition would need to be made of straight lines, though the Arcs could be approximated in several line segments each [they don't need to be straightened all the way to only single lines].
