Follow these steps to use one of the patterns: Save the file as NEW2.PAT, RICH2.PAT, or WW2.PAT, respectively (or a different name that you prefer) into a directory that is part of the AutoCAD support file search path.

From the Custom drop-down list, select the desired pattern name.

The reason I need this is that we have varies loations of equipment that appear and I need to trim the pattern around.

Currently we have to draw these as individual lines which causes real headaches when a wall moves or equipment locations are altered.

As you can imagine the individual lines end up stretched when they shouldnt be and conflict ensues.

I have tried writing a custom pattern with no useble results.

I need to be able to drop blocks on the wall and trim the hatch around them.

If it is supposed to be two in that one space and three above, it could be defined to do that with the origin presumably at the floor level, but it would take more code.

Or it could be more simply defined with three in all spaces, and you could get that result with careful defining of the boundary and positioning of the origin, and do the bottom row of long tiles with a simple User-defined pattern of vertical lines.

Is that intended, or can they be the same Again, the same would be much easier for the pattern definition.

Ive tried doing multiple hatches for each group of tiles but it gets really messy with origin snapping and weve gotten some bad results.

Im a novice at writing hatch patterns and Ive tried extrapolating from existing standard patterns but I obviously am not getting the parameters right for this complex of a hatch.

Because we are often manipulating these walls with client equipment changes, we really need the single pattern where we can just set it and trim and not have to worry about individual lines being out of place.

Its always those Simple little things that seem to cause the biggest headache.

Then the 6 means draw a 6 unit line but Im not sure how the -12 and the 12,-12 parameters are working.

I apologize for the noob questions, but this is something I havent had to do before.

With the irregularity of vertical repetition within the pattern, lots of elements have to be defined separately that didnt above, and on-off cycles are more convoluted, and some even had to be split into two lines because of too many dash specifications in the cycle to do them in one.

But this seems to do it not as much additional code required as I was expecting.

I have spent HOURS trying to code what you did in MINUTES.

Cool hatch pattern either way, just find a way to stop wasting time trimming it.

I am not the one directing the projects and the powers that be have had some very bad experiences with Wipeouts and are EXTREMELY reluctant to use them on a consistent basis.

I have only recently gotten their acceptance of me using WBlocks for equipment instead of generic rectangles.

They are starting to see the benefits of that and I have one light fixture block we use on exterior elevations where weve put in a wipeout and is working fine.

Its just a matter of them getting used to them being done RIGHT.
