Discussion: Checker/Diamond Plate Hatch (too old to reply). Forgot to mention that the diamond-plate hatch patterns I just sent. This is a library feature for Solidworks of a Diamond Plate Pattern, the original Tread sizing was borrowed from Steve Enderby on here who created the original in Autocad.

Depending on which version of AutoCAD you are running you might want to check out the Superhatch command. If you do a search of this site you'll find further information about it. Otherwise, any good reference book about AutoCAD should have at least one chapter dedicated to customization, including linetypes, hatch patterns, command aliases, Lisp programming, etc.

One last thought, search the Internet for 'AutoCAD' + 'hatch patterns'. You'll find plenty of links to sites with custom hatch patterns enough to fulfill your wildest dreams. Maybe someone has already designed the hatch pattern you have in mind. Try this: 1) create a block with your pattern. 2) Insert it with MINSERT command (on command-line). Set rows and columns to a reasonable high value to cover all the area you need to cover. 3) Use now XREF Clipping to clip the minsert to match your hatching area (you find it in Modify > Object >.'

You can also find a tool, MyHatch, to create real autocad patterns of your own and store them in.pat files at it's for free and opensource! To download the software (in english, though the page is in italian) you have a link there: ' Download the ', to view or Edited November 14, 2012 by mtrasi dead link (changed domain).

Maybe someone has already designed the hatch pattern you have in mind. Just wanted to say thanks for this tip! I have been trying to figure a way to put in a CheckerPlate hatch into my 'Cad and ran a GoogleSearch on your terms with Checker Plate added in - found this link:. Pulled in the.zip file, copy-n-pasted the code into my acad.pat file, fired up my AutoCAD 2008 and found the patterns listed at the very bottom of my scroll-listing.

Found this for you possibly it will help. This is from another website *VASTRAP, Vastrap Checkered Plate 0, 0,0.09375, 0.25,0.25, 0.25,-0.25 90, 0.125,0.21875, 0.25,0.25, 0.25,-0.25 Close the file and save it as 'Vastrap.pat'. This hatch will produce a pattern like this: Even though I defined the pattern with 0 and 90 degree lines, you can rotate the pattern to get the desired effect. I made the pattern at 0 and 90 degrees to avoid having to calculate the angles. (Chicken hey!) As I said at the beginning, simple hatch patterns are quite easy to create, but the complicated one's? Well, that's another story.

Would you like a couple of hundred hatch patterns to play around with and analyze? Some simple, some 'very' complicated! Then just place your mouse and click. Here are some questions and a description of what I did--I hope something in here may provide a clue. I also have AS2016, so the options should be the same as on your install. What kind of GA drawing are you creating? Are you using the 'checker plate' option under 'Grating Class' when you create the grating?
