Hatch Patterns along curves

A question was posed to me about hatch patterns around curves and if it was possible. I know with the existing hatch options standard with AutoCAD it is not possible and that an easy way to do it is to draw a small area of the pattern to the correct radius, make it a block and copy (or array) it around the arc / circle as needed. But I was wondering if there is an AutoLisp program out there that might allow a hatch to be drawn along a curve?

Any help or tips are very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Easier than the method you propose: OFFSET the curve the desired width of
the hatch, define the endpoints with a couple of temporary lines, then do a
non-associative hatch, and finally, remove the extra curve and lines.

Or ... try POCHE.LSP/VLX fromm
