Mac OS

1. On any drawing, type HATCH and press Enter.
2. Click the pull-down in the Hatch visor for Patterns and click Open Library.

3. Click the drop-down arrow and select Add Patterns.

4. Browse to the location of the custom .pat files, select them, and click Open.

• AutoCAD for Mac 2011 to 2015. ~Home/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/roaming/AutoCAD 201x/Rxx.x/<LANGUAGE>/Support

Note: Manually copying the .pat files into the specified location will also work.

1. Open an existing PAT file or create a new file in a text editor that saves in ASCII format (for example, Notepad on Windows® or TextEdit on Mac OS®).
   Note: If you are creating a new PAT file, the PAT file and hatch pattern names must be identical.
2. Create a header line that begins with an asterisk and includes a pattern name that is no more than 31 characters in length.

   For example, *ANSI31

3. Optionally, include a description for the hatch pattern by adding a comma and descriptive text after the pattern name.

   For example, *ANSI31, ANSI Iron, Brick, Stone masonry

4. Create a descriptor line that includes
   • An angle at which the line is drawn
   • An X,Y origin point
   • A delta-x of 0
   • A delta-y of any value

   For example, 45, 0,0, 0,.125

5. Add a blank line after the descriptor line.
   Note: If the blank line is missing, the hatch pattern won't be recognized by the program.
