BOOBYHATCH Command
==================

This command lets you automatically add hatch patterns to 
ACAD.PAT by simply drawing the contents of, and specifying the
dimensions of, a unit cell.

BOOBYHATCH recognizes Lines and Points. It is recommend, but
not essential, that you define your hatch patterns using a
snap grid.

The command dialog begins as follows:

        Command: boobyhatch
        Hatch pattern name (or ?):

Enter a pattern name or ?. Responding with a ? will produce a 
list of the hatch patterns defined in ACAD.PAT.

        Description: 

Enter a description of the pattern to be included in ACAD.PAT.
This description will by used by the HATCH command.

        Select objects:
        
Select the Lines and Points that define the hatch pattern.

        Unit cell or distance between rows (---):
        
Specify a non-zero distance, or two points. If you specify a distance,
the command dialog continues:

        Distance between columns (|||):
        
Specify a distance.

BOOBYHATCH now compiles the hatch pattern, adds it to ACAD.PAT, and
returns to the command prompt.
