SUPERHATCH is a former AutoCAD Express Tool that is now included in the core AutoCAD product. You can create a hatch pattern from most anything without having to learn how to write a hatch pattern definition file.

CAD hatch patterns include stone, river rock, and CAD gravel hatch patterns. AutoCAD Wood parquet hatch patterns. CAD concrete, textured, stippled hatch patterns. CAD hatch patterns for water, siding, steel tread plate, and glass. AutoCAD hatch patterns for granite, gravel, lava, coal, chalk, fossil, and gypsum. A hatch pattern file for Flag stone. A number of various hatch patterns for all version of AutoCAD. HAT works much like the AutoCAD hatch command, but also allows you to dynamically RESCALE and ROTATE, and MOVE hatch patterns as you create them. Parquet flooring style hatch pattern.

Step 1. Draw a rectangle and divide it into quadrants.

Step 2. Draw wood grain.

Draw polylines across the rectangle to simulate a wood grain.

Be sure that the number of endpoints at the top edge is the same as the number of endpoints at the bottom edge, and the number of endpoints at the left edge is the same as the number of endpoints at the right edge. (This is important, because you will be connecting these endpoints later).

Step 3. Make 3 copies
2 copies of everything (rectangle, quadrant lines and wood grain).
1 copy of just the rectangle and quadrant lines.

Step 4. Trim the wood grain and copy the quadrants.

Inside the first rectangle, trim or delete all the wood grain from the upper-right and lower-left quadrants.

Inside the second rectangle, trim or delete all the wood grain from the upper-left and lower-right quadrants.

Copy the trimmed wood grain quadrants to their opposite quadrant in the new rectangle (E.G. upper-right to lower-left, etc.)

Step 5. Clean up the wood grain.

Make any other changes you want to any of the interior vertices of the wood grain. The only rule is to never move any of the outer-edge endpoints.

Move the interior endpoints so that they are coincident. Do not move any of the outer-edge endpoints - these need to remain where they are so that the pattern will tile seamlessly.

Step 6. Join all the polylines and convert to splines.

AutoCAD Command: PEDIT

> Multiple

(Select all wood grain polylines)

> Join
> Spline

Step 7. Create a Block.

Stacked Stone Patterns

Create a Block from the wood grain (do not include the rectangle and quadrant lines in the block geometry).

Step 8. Draw a boundary to be hatched with the wood grain.

Step 9. Using SUPERHATCH, apply the wood grain block to the boundary.

AutoCAD Command: SUPERHATCH

> Block

Select the wood grain block
Place the block in inside the boundary
Accept all the SUPERHATCH defaults
Pick a point inside the boundary

Step 10. Experiment.

Try different SUPERHATCH scales (X and Y) and rotation angles.

In this example:

X scale = 1.2
Y scale = 0.7
Angle = 3
