Autocad Chevron Hatch -

For interactive chevron direction (like roofing or floor patterns), create a dynamic block with a hatch and a linear/stretch parameter + flip action.

As a CAD professional, you must use precise terminology. Clients often confuse chevron and herringbone, but they are different hatches. autocad chevron hatch

| Feature | Chevron | Herringbone | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Angle | V-shape meets at a precise miter (45° meeting 45°). | Rectangles or parallelograms turned 90°; ends are cut at 90° or 45°, but they interlock. | | Joint | The point of the V is a butt joint. | The ends overlap or abut perpendicularly. | | AutoCAD Pattern | Custom LINE code (45 & 135). | AR-PARQ (Parquet) simulates this. | | Visual | Continuous zig-zag. | Broken, woven zig-zag. | For interactive chevron direction (like roofing or floor

Pro Tip: If a client asks for a "Chevron floor hatch" in AutoCAD, show them both. If they insist on the continuous sharp V, use the custom .pat code above. If they want the brick-like interlocking look, use AR-PARQ. | Feature | Chevron | Herringbone | |

A Chevron hatch consists of repeating V‑shaped or zigzag lines, commonly used to represent roofing, floor tiles, paving, military map symbols, or directional flow in sections. AutoCAD does not include a built‑in chevron pattern, but you can create one easily via a custom PAT file or by defining it on the fly using the SuperHatch tool (Express Tools).
