Coming from AutoCAD, I am kind of confused where hatch patterns are located in Microstation. Then, I realized that basic Microstation does not have any included hatch pattern files or cells save the standard single line or cross hatch.
Does anyone have, or do you know where I can get for free a cell library with standard-type hatch patterns? Things like concrete, honeycomb, sand, earth, metal cross section etc... ?
Thanks.

Hi Ivan, of course the library is included in MicroStation installation. If a simple hatch or cross hatch are not enough for your purpose, use Pattern Area tool and use e.g. areapat.cel library, which is located in ...\WorkSpace\System folder. In the mentioned folder (precisely told it's C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\System\ or similar) more cell libraries are available, for patterning also some others like archpa.cel, or geompa.cel or igespats.cel can be used. With regards, Jan
[Note: Edited to correct mistake in folder name.]
