Making custom Hatches patterns
Just like custom linetypes, you can use “hatch code” as well as an Express tool called Super Hatch to make custom Hatches in AutoCAD. In this section, we will make custom Hatches using Super Hatches.
Before we begin making the Hatches pattern, we need to make the first component of the pattern and convert it into a block. This block can then be used to create the required Hatches. For this example, I will create a pattern that looks like this:
Figure 8.19: Sample shape for making the Hatches pattern
In the following example, we will convert the drawing shown in the preceding diagram into a block that will be later used in the custom Hatch pattern:
- To convert this drawing into a block, select the Create option from the Block panel of the Home tab or use its command alias, B.
- Give this block a name. I will name it
