This will turn the polyline segments into line segments.ġ) DRAWHATCH creates a 1X1 square in which you draw your custom hatch patternĢ) SAVEHATCH lets you name your hatch Pattern and save it as a.

Or use the “SEGS” LISP routine to convert the curved objects to polylines and then explode the polyline. The only drawback that I have come across is that it will only accept line and point entities… This can be over come by drawing your curved objects and then using other LISP routines to convert arcs and circles to line entities. If you have ever wondered how to make a custom hatch pattern and then looked at the coding that is required, you will really appreciate this routine. This Routine has been featured on Cadalyst’s website and is very handy.
