I am trying to load hatch files from StoneCAD. In the past I have been able to take hatch patterns from various sources and locate them in a file within AutoCAD LT, then use them without issue. I have never touched a .pat file or written anything in notepad or word, just simply copied the .dxf files to a file on my computer and was able to use them through AutoCAD LT 2009. Recently I had to reload the software and I can't figure out where I would go to put these hatch files. Any ideas?

Custom Hatch patterns/ PAT-extension file rules:1. File name and hatch pattern name must be one and the same.2. One hatch pattern per file.3. there must be a single blank line at the end of the definition in the PATfile.4. The PAT file(s) must be in AutoCAD's search path.

I've also had to reload my Autocad 2009 and can't find the .pat files to put my custom patterns into... can someone tell me where these files should be located???
 
I've done a search and nothing is coming up
