Custom Fill Patterns

[rwaldrondesigns]

I would like to create additional tile patterns, but for the life of me cannot see how to save a pattern I've created as a fill! I would love a pointer

 

Editing to clarify that I have found how to import a .pat file, but I cannot see how I could create a .pat file to export.

You can't create a fill pattern or export a fill pattern.

What pattern are you after?

Well shoot, I was trying to create multiple tile patterns. I have a tile manufacturer that I use who has many shapes that I would love to easily replicate by creating it once.

If you purchase HatchKit, you can easily create the pattern right in Chief, export as DXF, Import into HatchKit, Save the new Pattern using HatchKit, and then import that Pattern/Fill into Chief.

Are you aware of all the hatch patterns in the library?

Oh yes, but there are certainly not enough to illustrate all the possible applications of tile
