Adding third party hatch patterns

[Anonymous]

How do I add new hatch patterns into AutoCAD LT 2020?  In older versions, I would just simply copy & paste the .pat files into the ACADLT folder.  Not sure which folder to copy the .pat files into with LT 2020

Hi alanediger!

In the past, I found that copying 3rd party hatch into the cad .pat file made it quite heavy to load the hatch previews...

Instead, create yourself a directory where you can save all your 3rd party hatch patterns...

Then, in your Support File Search Path (In Option...), add a path and browse the path where they're saved...

When launching the Hatch command, your hatch patterns will be in the "custom" type of patterns...

Hope this helps...
