The free LISP utility by ARKANCE - PatOut - can generate hatch pattern definition files in the .PAT format from your DWG drawings. Any selected hatch will be converted to a separate PAT file with the hatch definition. So you transfer hatch patterns between drawings - simply reuse the PAT in the new drawing.

You can download PatOut from DL Download - load it with APPLOAD and start the PatOut command.

For linetypes use LinOut.
