 Hi guys Sharing wid you some about AutoCADIn AutoCAD versions prior to 2000, you could put additional hatch pattern definitions at the end of your ACAD.PAT file, and add the appropriate slides to the ACAD.SLB file to make them show up in the BHATCH dialog. AutoCAD versions 2000 and later do not use the ACAD.PAT/SLB at all. Instead of putting all the definitions in the ACAD.PAT, it is best to put each pattern definition in a separate PAT file. The path where these PAT files reside must be in the AutoCAD support paths as well. There is some benefit to using a short path such as C:\CADSTUFF, because the BHATCH dialog shows the path before the patten name, and long paths make the pattern name fall off to the right of the list. To select your custom pattern, issue the http://www.tutorialsworkshop.com" rel="nofollow - BHATCH dialog and choose the pattern select button {...}, then choose the Custom tab to select your pattern.

Don't worry. I'll keep him honest. This is another direct quote from the Dotsoft website: http://www.dotsoft.com/acadtips.htm" rel="nofollow - http://www.dotsoft.com/acadtips.htm . Scroll down to the "Hatches" section.

Is he trying to make himself out to be this grand fount of knowledge? I don't get it. What's the point? He likes to be obnoxious?

There is no point. His website is pointless, his posts in this forum are pointless and I don't think he knows anything about Autocad or any of the other software he has listed on his site. He just likes to collect tutorials and tips that other people have created and then posts them as his own, giving no credit to the original author. It's just really wrong, on many levels. ------------- Online Portfolio: http://www.rdeweese.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.rdeweese.com/ |

Maybe he has an inferiority complex.
