Important Note: Autodesk changed the behavior of the BHATCH dialog beginning in version 2000. This procedure will walk through the process of adding a hatch pattern to your system, all the way through the final step of adding the pattern to the AutoCAD BHATCH dialog. To turn on the snap to hatch, access the OPTIONS dialog (Tools menu), go to the Drafting tab, and in the lower left you will find the toggle.Īlso there is a command line system variable OSNAPHATCH, set to 0 for off (no snap), 1 for on (snap). In previous releases osnaps would honor hatches, in 2005 they are ignored by default. There has been a change in behavior in AutoCAD 2005 regarding the object snaps on its geometry. Any hatch pattern you find should work with any previous or future version of AutoCAD! The good news is that the hatch pattern format hasn't changed since it was first introduced years ago. Watson has donated these hatch patterns to the AutoCAD community.

One cannot have a completely random hatch pattern, but if the repeat spacing is large enough, the eye can get fooled.

It is based on a plank width of 150 drawing units, and lengths to suit your picture. I had a quiet afternoon so I wrote a pattern file for a Wood Flooring Hatch.
