Retrieve Hatch Pattern

[Anonymous]

I have a drawing with an unusual hatch pattern. This drawing was created by someone else. I want to create more areas of hatch with this same hatch pattern. I can't do it because I don't have the hatch pattern in my acad.pat file.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You could convert the drawing to a DXF and find the hatch definition. The online developer help can show you the codes and values.

For example, the BRICK pattern here...

*BRICK,Brick or masonry-type surface
0, 0, 0, 0, 6.35
90, 0, 0, 0, 12.7, 6.35, -6.35
90, 6.35, 0, 0, 12.7, -6.35, 6.35

Looks something like this in a DXF:

78
3
53
0.0
43
0.0
44
0.0
45
0.0
46
6.35
79

90.0
