Some users are unable to use the original GETPAT.LSP file and they are getting this error Command: GETPAT You will now find ZIGZAG hatch pattern among all the patterns, and you can use it just like other hatch patterns.
#Wood hatch patterns for autocad software#
See image below for reference.Īfter pasting the file launch your software if it is already open then close it and launch it again. To locate support folder type OP on the command line then press enter, options window will pop up select files tab and expand “support file search path” tree there you will see the location of support file. Now you have this hatch pattern all you need to do is import it to your AutoCAD software, for this copy ZIGZAG.PAT file and paste it to support folder of the installation directory.

This pattern will be exported as ZIGZAG.PAT on the desktop. For some cases the file is exported to C:\Users\\Documents so if you are unable to find it on the desktop then look it there. Now type GETPAT on the command line and click on ZIGZAG pattern present in drawing. Now open the drawing from your desktop and drag and drop lisp routine to the drawing as shown in the image below. Also, make sure that your source drawing is copied to the desktop from which you want to extract hatch pattern.

I am using a LISP routine in this tutorial to extract PAT file from drawing.Įxtract it from the compressed package and paste it on the desktop. In order to export that hatch, you need to create its PAT file. Let’s assume that you have a drawing with custom hatch applied in it with name ZIGZAG. Generally you can export a drawing with its fonts, texture, materials, references, data links etc using e-transmit but unfortunately, it can’t export custom hatch pattern file (PAT) with the package and you have to add it in the package separately.īut if you did not receive a drawing with PAT file then you can export it from drawing as well using the method shown below.
