Custom hatch pattern

[mary.mimnaugh]

Have a hatch pattern in a dwg drawing.  How do I convert it into a pat file.  Looking at the 4 h stone.

Thank you

Those are commercial hatch patterns, so I would imagine you just pay for them at Compugraphx

A custom hatch pattern will show in drawings without it being loaded on your own computer, unfortunately, there is no way to 'get' that information out of the drawing as a pat file. So you either need to ask the person who sent a dwg with custom hatches, to also send a copy of the pat file (or buy it). Or you can create the pattern yourself but that can be a long process when you have complicated patterns.
