To make them look smoother you should increase the number of sides of the curve. For this reason they can look very ridgy.

The color is defined by DrawHatch_Square layer, and can be changed from there if it`s not clearly visible.Īnother specific point is that the program optimizes circles and curves and converts them into lines. This is actually the field in which you have to create the repeated element of the pattern. DrawHatch use them to put elements of the pattern during its creation.Ī square area is also created, marked in the four corners with eight yellow lines. If you look you will notice that your drawing has four new layers – DrawHatch_Align, DrawHatch_Objects, DrawHatch_Preview и DrawHatch_Square. When you do this, the program’s window will open.

Type DHA in the window (you can close it and still write DHA, the effect will be the same). An AutoCAD text window pops-up with a description of the commands of the program, which are only two.Ĥ. At bottom left of the window that appears should be displayed DrawHatch successfully loaded.ģ. Find the program, select it and press Load. Open AutoCAD and type appload in command prompt.Ģ.

Automatically detect current project units and apply it to PAT file.

You can choose the pattern styles as Drafting or Model.

It creates *.pat file, so you can use created files for other apps like Autocad.

(you can use any two different line styles for boundary and pattern) Just draw your own pattern with any lines on any view.

No template or line type specification necessary.

Custom pattern size (What you draw is what you get).Honeycomb pattern (There were two different scripts, and I combined them as one).

Non square pattern (any rectangles available).Now it’s more than 3x faster than the first version, and with 1/4 sized graph. Recently I updated most of nodes with python to accelerate speed and minimize the graph. I created the first version about two years ago. I hope you can find some advatanges from mine though. I know there are some add-ins and dyn from others.(including pyRevit) DynaPAT is a dyn which generates *.pat files for Revit patterns
