PAT output is in beta. Verify the pattern scale after importing into your CAD or BIM application.

How to use the PAT file

  1. Download the .PAT file, or copy the definition into your own pattern library file.
  2. AutoCAD: place the file in a support path, then choose Hatch, Pattern type Custom and pick the pattern name.
  3. Revit: Manage, Additional Settings, Fill Patterns, New, Custom, then import the .PAT file and set the import scale.
  4. Metric patterns assume millimetre drawing units; imperial patterns assume inches.
