claus82 can you please add these things to your manual?
#1 on linux you should copy your hatch to:  /usr/share/librecad/patterns/
   you have to be superuser beeing able to copy the file to that directory
   So on Ubuntu you could use something like this (you have to change the path of your self-made hatch):
   sudo cp /pathToYourSelfMadeHatch/myhatch.dxf /usr/share/librecad/patterns/

#2 If your hatch does not show up, try to change the "Scale" in the "Choose Hatch Attributes" window.
 "There is a fix limit in LC to avoid huge memory and time consumption.
 This limit is 100 in both directions. That means your pattern fits in Y direction more than 100 times and is therefore  abandoned. " As told by LordOfBikes http://forum.librecad.org/bugs-problems-when-using-selfmade-hatches-tp5708894p5708911.html

#2 Make sure "Draft mode" is disabled
