As we know it is easy to copy our own hatches (.pat) to QCAD but unfortunately with every QCAD update I've to move those files to a new location.
This said - it would be nice to have the possibility to tell QCAD the source for such customized hatch collection. Similar to the "Library Source" feature for the Library Browser.

Husky,
Place your custom files in your user document location:
Windows: C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/Local/QCAD/QCAD/patterns/metric
(and/or 'imperial')
Refer to:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=8364&p=32920#p32920
Duplicates will also supersede the original.
The same can be done for linetypes, scripts and so on.
Regards,
CVH
