Free AutoCAD Hatch Patterns - 300+ .PAT Files with Previews

Last updated July 28, 2026

A library of free AutoCAD hatch patterns (.PAT files) collected over many years of drafting — brick, stone, timber, roofing and paving, plus several large multi-pattern collections. Every download below now shows a preview of what is actually in it, rendered directly from the pattern definition, so you can see the pattern before you download the file.

These work in Revit too. A .PAT file written for AutoCAD can be used as a Revit fill pattern — see creating custom hatch patterns in AutoCAD and using them in Revit.

New: the patterns below are a collected library, and it is almost all decorative and architectural work. For the everyday material indications — concrete, brickwork, insulation, earth, timber, steel — see the material hatch set: sixteen original patterns, with brick and blockwork dimensioned to the real millimetre module.

Brick and blockwork

Running, English, Flemish, garden wall and stack bonds, plus filled diaper variants. These suit elevations and wall sections at typical architectural scales.

Brick – running bond (medium)

Standard stretcher bond with clearly drawn perpends at a medium module. The general-purpose brick elevation hatch — use this one if you are unsure.

Pattern name muro10. Download Brick 1.zip

Brick – aligned column bond

Long thin units with the vertical joints aligned in columns rather than lapped — a stack-like arrangement for feature panels and modern facing work.

Pattern name muro20. Download Brick 10.zip

Brick – running bond (medium, tall course)

Medium running bond with taller courses. A useful alternative when the standard bond looks too busy on a large elevation.

Pattern name muro21. Download Brick 11.zip

Brick – running bond (fine)

A finer running bond with small units and tight courses. Suits elevations at 1:100 and smaller, where a full-size brick hatch would read as solid black.

Pattern name muro11. Download Brick 2.zip

Brick – running bond (fine, wide unit)

Fine coursing like Brick 2 but with a longer, flatter brick proportion — a slightly calmer texture at small scale.

Pattern name muro12. Download Brick 3.zip

Brick – diaper feature bond

Decorative brickwork: plain stretchers alternating with hatched and stippled units to form a diaper (chequered) pattern. For feature panels and heritage elevations rather than general walling.

Pattern name muro13. Download Brick 4.zip

Brick – running bond (medium-fine)

Half-lap stretcher bond sitting between the fine and medium patterns. A good default for 1:50 elevations.

Pattern name muro15. Download Brick 5.zip

Brick – running bond (long stretcher)

Running bond drawn with elongated stretchers, giving a more horizontal emphasis across the wall face.

Pattern name muro16. Download Brick 6.zip

Blockwork – running bond (coarse)

The largest unit in the set, with heavy perpends. Reads as concrete blockwork rather than brick — use it for masonry block elevations.

Pattern name muro17. Download Brick 7.zip

Brick – running bond (very fine)

The tightest brick module here. Intended for small-scale elevations and key plans where you want texture without detail.

Pattern name muro18. Download Brick 8.zip

Brick – running bond (medium, deep course)

Medium module with slightly deeper courses, giving a squarer brick face.

Pattern name muro19. Download Brick 9.zip

Stone and masonry

Ashlar, coursed rubble, random rubble and dressed stone. Useful for heritage elevations, retaining walls and landscape sections.

Random rubble walling

Irregular angular stones packed tightly with no coursing — a stone wall seen in elevation. The workhorse rubble hatch.

Pattern name pietra — “pietra wall” in the original file. Download Stone.zip

Old stone walling (fine)

Small, densely packed stones in rough courses. Reads as weathered older masonry at small scale.

Pattern name pietra1 — “pietra antica” in the original file. Download Stone 1.zip

Loose cobbles / hardcore

Rounded stones with open joints between them, for hardcore fill and cobbled surfaces.

Pattern name vespaio1 — “vespaio” in the original file. Download Stone 10.zip

Hardcore fill (fine)

A very fine version of the cobble fill, for thin fill layers drawn in section.

Pattern name vespaio2. Download Stone 11.zip

Crazy paving

Irregular rounded-polygonal flags with open joints. For terraces, courtyards and informal paved areas on site plans.

Pattern name pietra6 — “motivo in pietra” in the original file. Download Stone 2.zip

Palladiana paving

Broken angular slabs of mixed size laid with tight joints — the classic Italian palladiana terrazzo paving.

Pattern name pietra3 — “palladiana” in the original file. Download Stone 3.zip

Palladiana paving (coarse)

A larger-scale palladiana with bigger, more rounded fragments. Good where the finer version would disappear.

Rounded pebbles of mixed size, generously scaled. For gravel beds, drainage layers and driveways in section or plan.

Pattern name ghiaia1 — “ghiaia” in the original file. Download Stone 6.zip

Denser and smaller than the coarse gravel — the middle of the three gravel grades here.

Pattern name ghiaia2 — “ghiaia” in the original file. Download Stone 7.zip

Sparse scattered flecks on open ground. Indicates loose chippings without filling the area with ink.

Pattern name ghiaia3 — “pietrisco” in the original file. Download Stone 8.zip

Gravel (fine)

Fine, tightly packed rounded stones. The densest of the gravel set — watch the scale or it will read solid.

Pattern name ghiaia4 — “ghiaia” in the original file. Download Stone 9.zip

Timber and parquet

End grain, side grain and a large set of parquet and floorboard layouts – herringbone, basketweave, brick-bond boards and panelled squares.

Square blocks of four strips laid at alternating right angles — the classic parquet basketweave.

Pattern name parquet1 — “Parquet 4x” in the original file. Download parquet 1.zip

Hexagonal blocks built from strips, reading as a star or cube depending on the scale.

Woven blocks offset course by course so the weave runs across the floor rather than in a grid.

Pattern name parquet2 — “Parquet intrecciato” in the original file. Download parquet 2.zip

Parquet – corner inset

Square blocks with mitred diagonal inserts at each corner, forming a star at every junction. A decorative border or feature floor.

Strip blocks framed by an octagonal border with small square nodes at the junctions.

Wide strip blocks laid in a brick-bond offset. Calmer than a basketweave over a large floor.

Timber – vertical board grain

Simple vertical wavy grain lines for boarded surfaces such as cladding and panelling.

Pattern name WOOD4. Download wood.zip

Timber – board face (medium)

Wavy board grain at a medium scale, between the fine and sparse patterns.

How to install a .PAT file in AutoCAD

Unzip the download and put the .PAT file in a folder AutoCAD searches — the simplest is your support file search path (OPTIONS > Files > Support File Search Path).
Start the HATCH command and set the pattern type to Custom.
Pick your pattern from the list, then set the scale. Custom patterns are usually drawn at unit scale, so expect to adjust it — if the hatch looks solid, the scale is too small; if nothing appears, it is too large.
If the pattern does not appear in the list, check the file is in a searched folder and that the file name matches the pattern name inside it.

For Revit, and for writing your own patterns from scratch, see our guide to custom hatch patterns.
