Complex geometry like splines, ellipses, arcs, and text cannot exist inside a standard hatch pattern. They must be broken down into tiny, discretized line segments.
Most free online converters fail because they don't ask for the and Offset . The "better" way to do this manually is to use the SUPERHATCH command (express tools) or define it via the -HATCH command.
Questions for the community:
Super Hatch allows you to use an existing image, block, or external reference (Xref) directly as a hatch pattern without converting it into a PAT file.
If you want, I can:
To help you decide, here's a quick comparison of the primary methods we've discussed:
If you want to stop wrestling with code and start designing, here are the best approaches currently available.
