You can add them to the file support search path via the Options dialog (I assume it's similar to the one in vanilla ACAD) Please see attached.

Hello. Please Help, I am missing all hatch patterns. When I load and old file, then it gives me an error "missing shx file". the problem started when i wanted to upgrade my hatches in support   C:\Users\cat\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\R20.0\enu

What can I do to fix it??????

Hi,

>> I am missing all hatch patterns. When I load and old file, then it gives me an error "missing shx file"

"SHX" is a filetype used by text objects or linetypes, has nothing to do with hatches.

>> the problem started when i wanted to upgrade my hatches in support

What do you mean by "upgrade" my hatches, what have you done exactly?

If you have not done to much customizations you can reset AutoCAD profile to get your status back to default (>>>details<<<).
