Create or edit hatch pattern files quickly and easily for any version of AutoCAD
Draw a pattern from scratch, open an existing PAT file or import from hatch pattern collection files, DXF or HPGL. Save your pattern to a PAT file ready for use by AutoCAD?, AutoCAD LT?, Revit?, IntelliCAD? and other design or mapping tools.
<p>HatchKit is a visual editor for the widely-used .PAT hatch pattern file format.</p>
<p>Easily create and edit hatch patterns ready for use by AutoCAD?, AutoCAD LT?, Revit?,
IntelliCAD? and many other design, mapping or planning applications.</p>
<p>Draw patterns from scratch, open existing pattern files or
import from hatch pattern collection files, DXF or HPGL. Save patterns directly
to .PAT files along with specified name, description, and optional comment.</p>
<p>Draw a pattern and specify how it repeats. Add and delete
dots, lines and infinite lines with mouse or keyboard point specification.
Space the pattern along two (not necessarily orthogonal) axes to form the
desired overall pattern. You are not limited to a unit square or rectangular
arrangement.</p>
<p>Elements with differing spacing are grouped by layer. Add
layers to create composite patterns such as concrete or geologic
cross-sections</p>
<p>Rescale to change a pattern's linear units. Stretch,mirror, slew, move and rotate layers.</p>
<p>View the entire pattern or just the current layer. Show or
hide pattern repetition, repeat vectors and axes. Preview your pattern's
appearance with varying line widths.</p>
<p>Editing aids include cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, zoom, pan, print and
comprehensive context-sensitive help</p>
<p>Evaluate a demonstration version. It has all the features
of the full version but deliberately distorts output patterns.</p>
