Hi,

I would like to write custom hatches in a DWG file. But our FME Flow is deployed with Kubernetes.
So the OS is Linux.

Since the RealDWG writer is only available on Windows, I will need to use the other DWG writer (Acad).

Where should I put these .pat files to write these custom hatches successfully?

The documentations says:

The ACAD format writer will look for custom hatch patterns in custom <filename>.pat files located in folder specified by the ACAD operating system environment variable, or in the related folder for any installed AutoCAD product.

On windows, I have tried to create an “ACAD” environmental variable, pointing to a folder where I placed my .pat files. But no result.

Secondly, will this be possible on a Kubernetes FME Flow?

Thank you in advance
