If you add them into acad/acadiso.pat, it's simpler having one file, but at least they should all be together at the end or something, to make it easier to copy them out to add into the same file for a newer version. The latter approach makes migration to newer versions easier, but if you have a lot of them, it means a lot of separate files. the file defining the WD4 pattern has to be named WD4.pat. Each pattern needs to be in its own file, and the file name needs to match the pattern name exactly, i.e.
The PAT file must be in AutoCADs search path. It converts your AutoCAD drawing to hatch pattern (. there must be a single blank line at the end of the definition in the PAT file. HGEN (V2006 upd 4/2005) is an ARX application for AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 or 2004/2005/2006 (or MAP or Mechanical/Architectural Desktop) by CAD Studio (former Xanadu). īut if that's a single file separate from acad.pat or acadiso.pat, you can't have multiple definitions together in one file like that. File name and hatch pattern name must be one and the same. Do the patterns that came in that file originally still work correctly, and only the added ones not work? Do some of the added ones work, but not all of them?Īlso, "I am using metric hatches so I expect the pattern file should be a acadiso.pat " suggests that you may not be sure about that - ensure that the MEASUREMENT System Variable is set to 1 for metric, for it to use that file. For other shapes, you could try their 'Browse Tips by Category' link at the upper left, and look. And this is closer to the right shape for them, though its not a Hatch pattern, but draws a sine-curve approximation. The acad.pat & acadiso.pat files can be found stored in the locations listed below, alternatively type (findfile "ACAD.PAT") or (findfile "ACADISO.PAT") i ncluding the brackets on the command line to show the location.If, by "I copied the custom files into the end of my standard default hatch patterns," you mean that you added them into acad/acadiso.pat, then they should work unless the pattern definitions themselves have gotten corrupted in the process. For sine waves, there is a not-very-accurate but possibly acceptable for your purposes approximation among the patterns here.
