Write down the first line as *dashedangle, dashed angular hatch We will create a custom AutoCAD hatch pattern of 45 degree inclined dashed line. Run AutoCAD 2009 and select the just created hatch pattern from the custom tab of the hatch pattern palate. Save the file by giving filename as filename.pat and save it to your AutoCAD 2009 support directory ( /program files/AutoCAD2009/Support). The optional dash pattern is for specifying dashed or dotted line type. The first field of the code is the inclination angle of the hatch line, origin-x and origin-y is the starting point of first hatch line, x-offset and y-offset defines spacing dimensions between the hatch lines.
The syntax of the rest of the lines of the file will be Angle of line, origin-x, origin-y, x-offset, y-offset, The syntax of the first line of your hatch pattern file will be *filename, description Steps for Creating a Custom AutoCAD 2009 Hatch Pattern File
