    can you create a hatch pattern with an arc'd polyline?
    I want to make something that looks like wavy water.
    Thanks for any assistance on this one.

    No. You will have to approximate the arc with line segments.

    Tom Smith is right, hatch patterns are constructed with straight lines and
    or dots. Good representation of curved elements can be done with connected
    short line segments, but specifying the geometry in the hatch pattern
    definition .PAT file (it's text) can be tedious.

    You can visually draw and edit hatch patterns of any complexity with
