Can we make custom hatches in VC8?
I haven't been able to figure this out.

*iirc* exisiting hatch patterns are hard coded to the executable, custom hatches are no functionality.

Supporting the ACAD .PAT format would allow to access [URL="http://www.cadhatch.com/"]already existing hatch pattern definitions[/URL] as well as define custom ones by yourself:
