When you place a hatch for the first time, the software will download the PAT file containing that hatch and place it in the appropriate location in the Hatch folder. Under this cloud setup, each of the hatches will live on our website until you place it in a drawing.
Previously, the hatch files were downloaded automatically into the folder LandFX/Hatch when you installed our software. Our default hatches are hosted on the cloud (online). Before using this tool, you will need to create an appropriate layer and make that layer active. Note: Hatch patterns can be used for a variety of purposes.

If you knew someone with Vectorworks, you could have them export to CAD, and then import that CAD into Rhino (hopefully it works - best to import into a blank file and not a file that’s dear to you). PAT files I believe and has many hatches not included with AutoCAD. There are a few different ways to get a hold of a ‘.PAT’ file, it doesn’t have to be straight from AutoCAD necessarily (small chance I could be wrong here). If it’s complex, you’ll have to dig something up on an internet search. My advice would be that if your hatch pattern is very simple (just lines) you can create it yourself. It looks super useful… too good to be free… there must be some catch? There’s a website called … but I want to express a caveat that I have never downloaded anything from that site. The attached image shows a couple hatch patterns I made (for Revit actually, hence one for each angle there were ways around that even but I’m risking going off on a tangent here).
