In subsequent projects where the same object is required, instead of drawing it again, it is reused by inserting it in the CAD file in which we are working. Now, thanks to the blocks, this CAD drawing only needs to be produced once, the first time it is needed. It can be inserted into the existing drawing to complete it, complement it and help us save time in our CAD project.ĬAD blocks arose as a result of the need for repetitive use of multiple objects in different projects. Something as simple as this creates enormous advantages over the traditional construction of technical projects, allowing infinite possibilities, since once we have produced any design, Select the FILES tab.AutoCAD blocks, or those from any other CAD program, are files that can be inserted in other CAD files, it's that simple. If you create a new location (c:\hatch patterns) you must then point CAD to that folder. You can either put your custom hatch patterns in that location or you could create a new location. in that dialog you should see the location where those files are stored.
if yours does not you can right click on one of the pat files and click properties.
My set up lists the location under the files in the search results. It should pull up you other hatch pattern files. If it returns nothing, i would expand your search to include your c: drive. I would go to the start menu on windows and in the search box i would type in *.pat. Sorry just saw you were looking for a more detailed answer. Once you know where they are you can type in options and select the file location in the support file tree. You should be able to create that folder and then point CAD to it, or you could search where those file are and point CAD to that. If somebody can give me simple step by step, so I don't stuff up anything, I would be very grateful.
I noticed my Hatch Pattern Palette, under Custom, is Empty.ĭo I just create a Pat folder somewhere for AutoCad to find, I have all my Custom Hatch patterns on a USB ready to dump in the correct place. To be honest I was a big coward, there I said it.Īnyway can somebody step me through adding my Custom Hatch patterns from AutoCad 2012 to 2015. I have just upgraded to 2015 over the holidays from 2012, yes I didn't do it ages ago cos I figured everything was working fine so why change.
