Hatch patterns are now displayed and organized by their descriptions.Ĥ. For more information, see our Cloud-Based Blocks and Hatches page.ģ. Storing our blocks and hatches on the Cloud streamlines our installer and allows us to add new blocks and hatches dynamically, making them available with a simple software update. When you place a hatch for the first time, the software will download the PAT file containing that hatch and place it in the appropriate location in the Hatch folder. Under this cloud setup, each of the hatches will live on our website until you place it in a drawing. Previously, the hatch files were downloaded automatically into the folder LandFX/Hatch when you installed our software. Our default hatches are hosted on the cloud (online). Before using this tool, you will need to create an appropriate layer and make that layer active. Note: Hatch patterns can be used for a variety of purposes.
