From a variety of sources, I now have lots and lots and lots of hatch patterns in DCAD. Problem is that I don't know what some of these look like to know whether I want to use them or not. Sometimes the hatch spacing that I have Hatch set to doesn't then have the little thumbnail in DCAD show the pattern's image.

Is there a way of cataloging all of the hatch patterns in a batch way so that I can end up with a few 8 1/2 x 11 PDFs of what the patterns look like? And, to have the name of the pattern show up as a caption below the pattern? Or, is the only way to get this accomplished involve hatching a whole bunch of little squares on the screen, typing in the pattern name below that, and then printing those images to a PDF page?
