Close everything, the hatch pattern files have been inserted into autocad. From now on when you have to insert a hatch in the 'palette of hatch patterns' as well as the predefined ANSI, ISO and Other templates we will find in Custom, the list of new hatch patterns that we have just imported. AutoCAD come with default hatch patterns. But you always need to use custom hatch. There are many resources to download custom hatch pattern. But if you can’t find it anyway, it’s time to create your own custom hatch. Creating simple hatch is quite easy. You can check this tutorial if you want to know how it’s done. However, there is an. Obtaining the original pattern (.pat) file from the drawing creator and having AutoCAD load it is the only method I know of.

One of the great things about AutoCAD is that it can be used to design drawings meant for different types of industries. And because AutoCAD designs can be intended for any structure under the sun, the material being used or involved in the design’s construction can vary greatly.
This poses an interesting situation when AutoCAD users need to fill in the hatches of their drawings. These hatches represent the real material to be used. So getting the hatch patterns just as accurate as the drawings themselves is important.
Now, although AutoCAD offers plenty of hatch patterns on its own, sometimes we may want to personalize our drawings and implement our own hatch patterns. You can do this by following these simple steps:
1.In your AutoCAD document, draw a desired pattern using a tool from the Draw panel.
2. In the Block panel, click on the “Create” command, located in the top right corner.
3. Name your pattern and click “OK”. On the pop-up, choose “Select objects”.
4. Click on your drawing until it gets light blue, and hit Enter.
5. Now select “Pick point” and place the cursor on the bottom left corner of your pattern drawing.
6. Hit “OK”.
7. Go to the “Express Tools” tab > Draw panel > Super Hatch.
8. Choose “Block” as your desired pattern type, select your block by name and hit “OK”.
9. Fit your pattern by following instructions. When you’re satisfied hit Enter.
10. Click on the desired area that you want to hatch and once selected, hit Enter.
All done! For advanced users who are interested in more hatch pattern customization options, check out this tutorial from Ellen Finkelstein.
