Curved lines in pat files show staggered

jatBYJCA · ‎03-18-2024

I downloaded a .pat file for landscape plans, but curved lines show as staggered when I import them to autocad.

This is the preview from the website I downloaded the .pat file from:

And this is the same pattern in AutoCad:

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

I've tried exploding and redrawing, but nothing happens.

Hi @jatBYJCA ,

How far is this HATCH object from 0,0 of the current coordinate system?

If it is too far, AutoCAD cannot draw lines inside hatch correctly.

You need to move the hatch area closer to the current UCS or WCS origin or set UCS origin point near the hatch area.

Hi Maxim,

Not far. I tried drawing a rectangle with one corner in 0,0 now with the same error:

I'm drawing in millimeters and the rectangle is roughly 65x65mm big.

Absolutely!

For some reason I wasn't able to attached it here, but see if this wetransfer link works?

Thanks for sharing the PAT file: it looks to badly written/coded for a 1x scale, it look the same here for me

Unless you set the scale to be really small (1/10 scale below, same rectangle)

At first glance it seems that such lines are included in the pat file.

Ah.. That's annoying.
I was hoping to use AutoCad to convert the pat-files to dwg so that I could import them to ArchiCad and use the hatches there. But I guess not!

Thank you!

Thanks Maxim!

I'll contact the site I downloaded it from.
