Is there any possibility how to fill areas in AutoCAD with symbol pattern (see the sample)? I would like to create pattern of trees which will be repeatedly distributed within the area. I tried to do it with HATCH entity, but it seems that it can be created just using lines. I could imagine that there could be possibility to define symbol as BLOCK (containing single tree symbol) and this symbol could be used to create pattern. I expect that symbols of pattern will contain arcs. Any ideas ? porcarius

Did you try to import the pattern into your site view? Once imported you can group if necessary and copy to other locations.

You can use a program called hatchkit to create custom patterns that can be used as fill patterns. Note that surface patterns will not display on a topography.

Thanks for comments - I have posted this query also on Autodesk forum and got promising response from creators of HatchKit (it is possible to create quite complex hatch patterns using this tool). Regards, Petr.
