    if i create a drawing with custom linetypes or hatches, and send the drawing
    to someone else, they don't need the pat or lin file right? For some reason,
    I'm drawing (pardon the pun) a blank...

    No you don't, they become part of the drawing.

    They would only need the pat file if they needed to alter your drawing.

    Or if it's a complex linetype, i.e. one defined by a .shx file. Then they
    would need that .shx file. We had that problem when I came over here and I
    have since done away with it because the client always called asking why it
    was telling him it couldn't find suchandsuch.shx.

    ....and for another suggestion --- use eTransmit to send the drawings and
    all needed files will be scooped up for you automatically into a ZIP or
    EXE file.
