zip file, copy-n-pasted the code into my acad.pat file, fired up my AutoCAD 2008 and found the patterns listed at the very bottom of my scroll-listing. I have been trying to figure a way to put in a CheckerPlate hatch into my 'Cad and ran a GoogleSearch on your terms with Checker Plate added in - found this link: Maybe someone has already designed the hatch pattern you have in mind.

You'll find plenty of links to sites with custom hatch patterns enough to fulfill your wildest dreams. One last thought, search the Internet for "AutoCAD" + "hatch patterns". The CAD file contains different design options for finishing houses and other architectural objects. AutoCAD Hatch Patterns has DWG extension and real dimensions. Otherwise, any good reference book about AutoCAD should have at least one chapter dedicated to customization, including linetypes, hatch patterns, command aliases, Lisp programming, etc. Dear friends, any AutoCAD object in this file is united into blocks, which makes them as convenient as possible when importing into your works.

If you do a search of this site you'll find further information about it.

Depending on which version of AutoCAD you are running you might want to check out the Superhatch command.
