Note that this pattern does not have sufficient precision to properly display in large coordinate mapping, but should work well in most other applications. For terms of discussion we will use the GRAVEL.PAT found floating on the web. Preparing the Pattern: The first step is to obtain or create a hatch pattern that you would like to add. As such this procedure may not be applicable unless you intend to compile your hatchs into a IMAGE menu. It choose instead to create a very small (nearing unreadable) swatch on the fly, which takes a significant amount of time if you have hundreds of patterns.

As a result of this change, the BHATCH dialog completely ignores the hatch slide contained in the slide libary. Important Note: Autodesk changed the behavior of the BHATCH dialog beginning in version 2000.

This procedure will walk through the process of adding a hatch pattern to your system, all the way through the final step of adding the pattern to the AutoCAD BHATCH dialog.
