autocad hatch *.pat file

yoiyoi

i have a hatch .pat file in a folder on my c drive and would like to load/copy it into acad (ie add it to the existing acad pat file).

how do i do this in order to have the new hatch patterns show up in the hatch pattern pallette, without messing up with the preexisting acad pat file.

btw what is the surefire way of verifying the path/location of an installed application (autocad)

open pat file in a text editor, copy contents, open your exist acad.pat file, search for the location of your hatch pat and paste your copied pat at the end of the hatch list - be sure to hit return a few times after the original list prior to pasting...
