A better converter recognizes geometric repetition, respects the unit system, cleans overlapping vectors, and generates human-readable (if necessary) .pat code.
A .pat file needs a header ( *PatternName, Description ). Bad converters spit out *unnamed or encode the DWG filename with spaces, which AutoCAD rejects without any error message.
