Hatch pattern path

[Jamie Myers]

I have a customized hatch .pat file that has all of the hatch patterns we use placed on our server. How can I redirect autocad to look for that file and not the one on the local hard drive? Right now, if I make changes to the master .pat file, then I have to go around to everyone's machine and copy it to their support folders. I want to keep from having to do this.

add a path on everyone's computer to a central location on the server and position that path so it is at the top. Place the acad.pat file in there and Autocad will ignore the local one and use the centralized one. You can do this with lisp routines as well as other files such as acad.lin, acad.rx, acad.pgp etc.

TYVM. Too bad there isn't a place to set the path to the hatch patterns like the templates.
