AutoCAD help
Hey, need some help with autocad. Does anyone know how to create their own hatch pattern? For example, I want to do some various styles of tile layouts…and copying 20,000 tiles and trimming them is vedi-vedi time consuming!

Cant you create one or 2 boxes of equal size with deisred pattern within AUTO CAD, not necessarily hatch, and then mirror those?

Re: AutoCAD help
SWEEEET! its amazing how after years of using it, you still can learn more. The hatch pattern worked great, and you pry saved me about 2 hours of time in trimming! I'll give a free boulder from work! ha ha ha
Can you tell me how I can select more than one object to use as a hatch. For example, I have 2-3 tiles of different shapes that I want to use as a hatch. Where do I start?
