SUPERHATCH is a former AutoCAD Express Tool that is now included in the core AutoCAD product. You can create a hatch pattern from most anything without having to learn how to write a hatch pattern definition file.
This AutoCAD tutorial is by Autodesk’s own Cliff Young of the AutoCAD Test Development Team.
Step 1. Draw a rectangle and divide it into quadrants.
|
Step 3. Make 3 copies
|
Step 4. Trim the wood grain and copy the quadrants.
- With over 300 hatch patterns is added the more than 70 hatch patterns existed for each AutoCAD version. Hatch patterns library will help to Architects, Engineers to have more correct choice of materials and hatch in his drawings.
- Thank you for the wood hatch but I can't open them at all unless I find the app and then it says they will open without virus protection so tell me what good is that. We need a wood hatch with our costly autocad lt. Program, thanks.
Copy the custom.pat files into the default Support folder (listed below) that AutoCAD uses to find hatch patterns.Added.pat files will cause hatches to be listed under the User Defined or Custom hatch menu within AutoCAD.

Step 5. Clean up the wood grain.
|
Free Hatch Patterns. CAD hatch library, hundreds of FREE AutoCAD hatch patterns, the collection includes wood, brickwork,stone and stonework. We have over 300 free AutoCAD architectural hatch patterns to choose from, ideal for those specialist CAD jobs needing custom designs. Free Hatch Patterns.

Step 6. Join all the polylines and convert to splines.
|
Step 7. Create a Block.
|
Step 8. Draw a boundary to be hatched with the wood grain.
Step 9. Using SUPERHATCH, apply the wood grain block to the boundary.
|
Step 10. Experiment.

Fills an enclosed area or selected objects with a hatch pattern, solid fill, or gradient fill.
When the ribbon is active, the Hatch Creation contextual tab is displayed. When the ribbon is off, the Hatch and Gradient dialog box is displayed. If you prefer using the Hatch and Gradient dialog box, set the HPDLGMODE system variable to 1.
If you enter -HATCH at the Command prompt, options are displayed.
Note:- To prevent memory and performance problems, the maximum number of hatch lines created in a single hatch operation is limited. However, you can change the maximum number of hatch lines with the HPMAXLINES system variable.
- To maintain performance for hatches with non-continuous hatch lines, choose a predefined hatch pattern rather than loading and setting a non-continuous linetype. Beginning with AutoCAD 2015-based products, the HPLINETYPE system variable suppresses the display of non-continuous linetypes in hatches by default.
- To control whether object snaps ignore hatch objects, add or subtract 1 from the OSOPTIONS system variable.
Choose from several methods to specify the boundaries of a hatch.
- Specify a point in an area that is enclosed by objects.
- Select objects that enclose an area.
- Specify boundary points using the -HATCH Draw option.
- Drag a hatch pattern into an enclosed area from a tool palette or DesignCenter.
The following prompts are displayed.
Removes the hatch patterns added during the currently active HATCH command. Click the pattern you want to remove.
Switches from the Remove Boundaries mode so you can add hatch patterns again.
