I use a program called HatchKit, but it looks like their website has been hacked. :? I sent an email to the site owner, if i hear back from them after the site gets cleaned up I'll post back here. The software works really well and allows you to create some really complex patterns. I have a bunch of free hatch patterns and one for sale pack on my website in case you haven't seen those yet.

If you can modify an existing hatch to work, then that makes it easier. Editing the pattern file is sometimes relatively simple, but sometimes it requires some trial and error. Can you post an image of the pattern you want?

HatchKit replied and seems to have corrected their issues on their site.

Just saw this. For the record, the problem Josh reported (thank you, Josh) was entirely a false positive from Malwarebytes.

We had no issues to correct on our website at all, apart from having to complain to Malwarebytes - who quickly fixed their malfunctioning system at their end.

Diamond Plate Hatch?

Hi,

Does anybody have a hatch pattern that looks like typical diamond plate metal? For the moment, I am using the diamond pattern with a dashed linetype.
