AutoCAD hatch pattern for footway yorkstone paving
Using AutoCAD for urban design and traffic engineering schemes, i often find myself creating hatch pattern for different types of paving.
The pavements in England are often paved with yorkstone paving, with a width of 600mm and alternate lengths of 900mm and 750mm at the kerb line (and lengths of 900mm all the way to the back of the footway).
Here’s what you should add at the end of both your acad.pat and acadiso.pat files. These files are located either in your Program Files/AutoCAD/support folder or in your Documents & Settings/your username/Application Data/Autodesk/AutoCAD/R/enu/support folder.
*YORKSTONE, 600×900 150 bond

Here’s what it looks like:
