I can insert the hatch without a problem. There is an additional (very small) problem which is a bit perplexing. Thank you for your help - I found a way to insert the hatch! (For the record, when I copied and pasted the version you posted hugha, the hatch didn't work in AutoCAD and I was given the error message "Bad pattern definition file: Missing parameter on line 29."īut when I went in to the original PAT file (after re-downloading it from Eldorado) and deleted the extra digits manually it worked perfectly). I opened the PAT file in Notepad and manually deleted all of the extra digits (such as deleting all the zeros from 41.750000000), then saved the file, then went into AutoCAD and tried to use the hatch, and it worked! Thanks for the help!
It is interesting that other users succeeded with the original pattern where OP did not.

It appears that a pattern generator intended to create Revit hatch patterns (where line length is rarely a problem) was used to create that file. The pattern in question has many lines that flout that rule - the first of those being at the mentioned line #4. But we cannot use the Eldorado Stone ones.Ī long-standing requirement for AutoCAD hatch pattern definition was that all lines must be 80 characters or less in length - as stipulated here: Our company has not been able to import any Eldorado Stone hatches into AutoCAD for a while, so we have had to just use stone hatches that look different. This seems to be a recurring problem with Eldorado Stone hatches. Pick internal point or : Selecting everything. I tried turning HPDLGMODE to 1, and then hatching the object, but when I try that, the command line shows this: But I cannot actually use the hatch pattern because it freezes the program. In other words, I can import the hatch pattern into my DWG file. Like the hatch pattern just freaks the program out and the program can't handle it. But when I do the HATCH command, any time I try to either 1) create a new hatch with this European Ledge hatch pattern, or 2) change an existing hatch to this European Ledge hatch pattern, the program just freezes. It's there under my list of hatches, I'm able to do that just fine.
I have tried multiple methods of importing a particular hatch pattern (European Ledge from Eldorado Stone) into AutoCAD.
