Hello, I need to make some new cut patterns from scratch.

I know they are just fill patterns which are .pat files. I also know how to import them.

My question is how do you make these .pat files? Can it be done in revit? Can photoshop elements do it?

please let me know

you can create it using notepad, open an existing one and see how it's built. but to make life easier there are a few programs out there that can help you

you can try:

or create your own in Autocad:

Unless Photoshop Elements emits AutoCAD-style .PAT files it won't be much help

These threads lead to more hatch pattern resources:
