+====== Custom Hatch Patterns for Rhino======
+There are several ways to make a hatch pattern in Rhino.
+===== Option 1 =====
+Download and use Rhino provided hatch patterns [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/hatch|here.]]
+===== Option 2 =====
+The first and easiest, if you own AutoCAD, is to import the ACAD.PAT into Rhino. Second, you may want to download them off the Internet from sites like [[http://www.dotsoft.com/acadhatch.htm|DotSoft.]]
+You can also create an PAT file in Notepad from scratch using one of the tutorials below.
+Since Rhino uses the same format as AutoCAD, any tutorial on creating an AutoCAD pattern will work.
