It is possible to create your own custom crosshatch file, say a xhatch3.chx file, with some custom definition but it is rather difficult. This started because I wanted concrete as a hatch pattern and I'm trying to make my own. Is there any documentation to help guide in this endeavor?

I've messed around with changing the values to understand what they do but it is quite tedious. I've also noticed that it's not possible to create an arc, at least nothing I've found yet.

Maybe I should just buy a file from someone? I've looked for some third party supply but there is nothing out there. Suggestions. There are plenty of 3rd party AutoCAD hatch patterns out there. Thanks
