What are AutoCAD Hatch Patterns?
AutoCAD hatch patterns are a set of graphic patterns thatare used to hatch a surface in a drawing. This patterns range from grass tobricks to any imaginable design and are stored as .pat files.
You can use predefined default AutoCAD hatch patterns andyou can modify or create your own custom pattern. You can also download hatchpatterns and add them to AutoCAD. In this tutorial, we would be learning how toapply an AutoCAD hatch pattern to a drawing.
How to Use AutoCAD Hatch Patterns
The first step is to click onthe home on your AutoCAD tool pallet (note the hatch tool will only show onyour tool pallet if you are in the drafting and annotation workspace).
Next, click on the hatchtool located in the DRAW tab.
To apply the hatch tool, you can either select the *pick apoint* which can be used to hatch an enclosed area or you can use the *select*which hatches a selected object (object must be enclosed e.g. circle, rectangleetc).
For this drawing, we will use the *pick an enclosed area* because we are to hatch the enclosed area between the outer line and the inner line of the building plan drawing which indicates the block work.
Pick any pattern you like and click on the enclosed space to apply the pattern. For this drawing, we will use ANS134.
The hatch tool could be used as
- Pattern
- Solid color
- Gradient
Click on this drop downto see the different hatch patterns that are available
Hatch Patterns can be edited, the hatch pattern angle, thescale factor and the transparency can be varied. Let’s change the scalingfactor from 1 to 200 (note the scaling factor is dependent on the size of yourdrawing, so for the hatch pattern to show properly you will need to vary thescale factor) and let’s change the hatch pattern angle to 45 degrees. Applyingthese we get:
We also have the hatch gradient, where you can use at least2 colors to create a color gradient in an enclosed area to be hatched. Rememberyour basic primary color code RGB red, green and blue. For white light, youhave 255,255,255. You can vary this code to get the color you need. After thisselect 2 colors to create a gradient with and apply.
For solid color, you canonly apply one color, unlike the gradient where you require two colors tocreate a hatch gradient; here only one color is used. You can change the colorto e.g. red, blue, white etc and click on an enclosed space to apply.
Match Property
If you wish to match a property of a hatch pattern you haddone before to another object instead of having to start all over again tocreate a hatch for a new object, you use the match property. Simply click onthe source object with hatch pattern and then click on the object to apply thehatch pattern

CompugraphX
This is the most comprehensive AutoCAD hatch pattern library available to CAD designers today. You get a great set of CAD hatch patterns for the architectural, interior, geological, and landscape designer. The Hatch command in AutoCAD is the same feature as the 'Fill' command in other software, the Hatch command let's you fill an area very quickly with a pre-made pattern. It takes a certain level of expertise to create your own hatch patterns, so this pre-made library of AutoCAD hatch patterns will let you quickly get started adding beautiful fill/hatch patterns to your CAD design projects.
100+ Hatch Patterns is compatible with AutoCAD 2000 to 2015.
Installation instructions are included when you download the hatch library, or you can see them by clicking on the link below;

New AutoCAD Hatch Patterns!
Watson Kilbourne from CompugraphX has added 20 new geological hatch patterns now available in the 100+ Hatch Patterns library of AutoCAD hatches.
Below is a preview of the 20 new CAD hatch patterns.
The 20 new bonus hatch patterns are similar to hatch patterns found in ISO-710-3.
There hatch patterns will not show up in the CompugraphX drop down menu in AutoCAD, but are shown in the preview patterns menu in the AutoCAD Hatch command dialog.
Below are the previews for all the remaining hatch patterns. There are CAD hatch patterns for roofing materials, flooring, siding, and landscaping.
Hatch materials include: tile, asphalt, wood, slate roof shingles, wood lattice, and chain link fence. AutoCAD brick patterns, concrete block patterns, wood grains. AutoCAD natural stone materials, and CAD hatch patterns.
CAD hatch patterns include stone, river rock, and CAD gravel patterns. AutoCAD Wood parquet patterns. CAD concrete, textured, stippled hatch patterns. CAD hatch patterns for water, siding, steel tread plate, and glass.
AutoCAD hatch patterns for granite, gravel, lava, coal, chalk, fossil, and gypsum.
CAD hatch patterns for shale, soil, limestone, marble, and quartz.
Includes AutoCAD hatch patterns for use with Unified Soil Classification System.
100 Plus Hatch Patterns is compatible with all the versions of AutoCAD Rel. 14 through AutoCAD 2018, and all the versions of AutoCAD LT versions.
