The conversion was successful, and a PAT file was created that accurately represents the original design pattern. The resulting PAT file can be used in various design and drafting applications to replicate the pattern. Autodesk does not provide a native "DWG to PAT" button

Converting a DWG drawing (AutoCAD) to a PAT file (custom hatch pattern) is not a direct "Save As" function.

Export as DXF and save your selection as an AutoCAD 2000 DXF : Use an online DXF-to-PAT converter (e.g., ) to upload the DXF and download your new PAT file.
