'Thanks for the Free CAD Hatch Resources!'
A good set of free AutoCAD hatch patterns should be a part of every CAD user's.
A great time saver, using AutoCAD hatching patterns can make your work 'stand out' by differentiating project materials and giving your drawings a professional edge.
Hatch In Autocad
What better way to start off 2013 than with a new hatch pattern for AutoCAD? Harold Detlaff has given us a nice hatch pattern to represent batt insulation. Drop the PAT file into a directory that is part of your support file search path, and the pattern named INSULA will be ready to use. HatchKit Visual Hatch Pattern Editor - Create and Edit Hatch Patterns, Quickly AND EASILY.
In addition to the standard hatch patterns supplied with AutoCAD, there are several sites worth mentioning that offer some great AutoCAD hatch patterns, at no charge.

Does anyone have a.pat file for insulation similar to the 2D insulation component available in Revit? Or if you aren't willing to share the file, maybe share how you achieved it so I can duplicate it? I seem to be limited to the ****** hatch patterns available and none of them are even close to insulation. I found this but I don't see how this works in a cut view, seems like it would get the result I want in plan but this guy has created an extrusion so in cut I'm just going to see a solid piece like I already see.and that's not what I want.

Free Architectural Thermal and Moisture Protection CAD drawings and blocks for download in dwg or pdf formats for use with AutoCAD and other 2D and 3D design software. By downloading and using any ARCAT CAD detail content you agree to the following [license agreement]. Oct 14, 2016 We have EIFS, which is EPS insulation, which we are using the Hex pattern for. We are also using fiberglass batts, and the usual insulation linetype for that. We are using a metal panel on part of the exterior, which has mineral wool insulation, and I want to use a hatch pattern that is easily differentiated, and that reads like mineral wool.
Seems to me I 'should' be able to just set a hatch pattern but I have no idea why OOTB revit doesn't include a freaking insulation hatch pattern and only has a 2D component available.this is like the 15th iteration of Revit and they still haven't included this? Do I create a text file in notepad and save it as a *.pat?
Copy and paste the pattern text to Notepad or any other text editor such as PSPad. Trim any leading spaces from each line. Make sure to save it as a.PAT file and not as a.PAT.txt file - which is what Notepad will gleefully give you if you just save with the default.txt file extension that Notepad thinks you need (you don't). Use Save as type:= All Files (*.*) to supply the.PAT extension, otherwise you won't be able to find it while browsing in Revit. In your Revit project, select Manage>Additional Settings>Fill Patterns (to wake up Fill Pattern manager).
Click: • Drafting or Model radio-button (to select either Pattern Type) • New (New Pattern panel appears) • Custom (lower portion changes) • Import (file browser appears, restricted to.PAT files, remember) • Browse to your file and open it • Select the pattern you want to load from the dropdown list • Alter the pattern scale to taste • Alter the pattern name to taste • Click on OK (pattern will be added to the displayed list of patterns) That's it. Redo to load with a different scale or you can use the free Add-In I mentioned earlier to do that inside your project. Hope this helps, Hugh Adamson. Reclaime free raid recovery. Thanks Hugh, I managed to figure out most of this before you replied, but I seem to have hit a roadblock.
It's in inches don't know if this is an issue for importing in a metric project? I can't seem to edit the scale upon importation all the choices to do with scale are greyed out. And I really WANT to try the hatchkit, among other useful plug-ins also but where I work IT have a stranglehold on everything so I can't just download and try it out I need someone from IT to first approve it and blah blah red tape and it usually takes them a month to actually install something I ask for (I waited 3 months for design review to get installed and its part of the CAD deployment package.). No it's worked as you described - kind of.but I assume discrepancies are down to user error on my side.

I've used a component family for insulation, and this has an 'insulation' material applied, which in turn has your hatch pattern applied When I place this element and runs horizontally across the screen (in plan) it works fine. If the element runs vertically up and down the page/screen the hatch does not rotate 90 degrees but rather draws the elliptical line thingo sitting one on top of the other - as opposed to stringing along side by side as they should. I had the same problem appear in section because the piece with a depth of 300mm needs the hatch to turn 90 degrees to hatch how I want but it currently doesn't. Am I missing something or is this just how it is? Maybe I need to use the same hatch turned 90 degrees for section hatch?
