General CADD Down Load Area

 

 

Welcome to my Down Load area for General CADD. Here you will find Components, Symbols or Blocks that have been with me through Generic CADD, Cadvance, AutoCAD and have now finally found their way into General CADD

 

Most of these are all my own work. There are a few that I have added too, with additional Blocks from Cadalog & Cadshack etc.

Hatch Patterns

 

Link to Adobe site to download latest FREE adobe reader.

 

The Adobe PDF files   have a review of the hatch pattern collection and preview pages so the user can see what the hatch patterns look like.

 

 

cshatch.zip

 

Freeware and Shareware available for free download or purchase from Charles Sweeney’s superb site at http://www.hatchpatterns.com

 

Charles granted me permission to create separate *.pat files from his acad.pat to use as custom pat files. I’ve also created the *.sld files encase for some reason you did not want to replace the default acad.pat & acad.sld files.

 

 

hatcher1.zip

 

An Adobe PDF file showing the 89 of the 100 hatch patterns included in Hatcher1.zip by Morris Sharp. His software was shareware in 1994 and was created for AutoCAD R10,11 & 12.

 

11 files are not R14 or 2000 compatible.

 

 

patterns.zip

 

 

A collection of 56 AutoCAD hatch patterns. On Caddepot this software is not categorised as Freeware or Shareware. There is no contact address available on Caddepot or in the zip file.

 

There is also no indication as to who compiled this collection or originally posted it to shareware libraries. The individual *.pat files date from 1980 – 1992. There are a large amount by Watson Kilbourne. There are also a lot that originated for TIP### at CADalyst, Various Authors.

 

 

rvb_pa.zip

 

The 46 AutoCAD hatch patterns included in this file were created by Raymond V Brandes in 1988. He created them with a package he co-authored called Pattern Maker. Five of these patterns are not AutoCAD R14 or 2000 compatible.

 

The hatch patterns are supplied as individual *.pat files to be used as custom hatch patterns or added to the acad.pat or acadiso.pat files

 

 

mele.zip

 

The file mele.zip can be found on the http://www.cadalog.com website amongst others.

 

A collection of 11 hatch patterns from Italy for AutoCAD R14 and higher by an unknown author. There is no accompanying text or read me file with this zip. This file is classified as freeware on most sites

 

Download mele2.zip which contains 11 individual pat files for use as Custom Hatch Patterns and Slide files *.sld if you want to add these patterns to you acad.pat or acadiso.pat

 

 

tile_hat.zip

 

The zip file contains 54 AutoCAD tile individual hatch patterns *.pat and slides *.sld which date back to 1992. Author unknown

 

There is no other documentation included in the zip file apart from a rss.com file which is an advert for Rolling Stock Software a division of KanataCAD BBS

 

These files needed modifying to enable the user to load as Custom Hatch Patterns, The file name should be the same as the description header, well now they are. I’ve also created the slide *.sld files for them download  tile_hat2.zip

 

 

arabpat.zip

 

A collection of 30 Arabesque Patterns that contains high quality Arabic and Islamic designs for use with the AutoCAD Hatch command, for AutoCAD R14 and higher. Designed by Fayed Qweis of Arabesque Software Company Copyright © 1992

 

This is a shareware program, if you use it, a payment of $49.00 would be appreciated.

 

 

freehatch.zip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hatch14.zip

 

A large collection (213) of Hatch Patterns by BASS Engineering that have been compiled from many of the Freeware hatch patterns listed above. However there is no acknowledgement of the sources used or original Authors in the acad.pat provided.

 

In the Adobe reference file I’ve corrected this, where I have been able established a source for the individual hatch pattern. i.e. the 54 patterns from tile_hat collection and over 100 from freehatch.zip are in there.

 

Is it worth the $20 Registration ?, As Barry Bass replied when I asked him “ You decide “, but before you do check out my reference file.
