Syntax error in pattern file attachment?

[kettuma]

Hello!

Now is the pattern problem in hands! 😞

I try to attach patterns to wall: Materials, Cut pattern, New, Drafting pattern, Custom, Import:

And path: C/Program files/Autodesk/Revit Architecture 2011/Data

And there: Revit.pat (or any other *.pat file that I have).

And there it comes: An error! Syntax error in line 2 or 12 or 10 ???

What has happened? Before I was managed to attach patterns ok. To an other project I mean.

Where on earth is the problem? In the project? The whole program? In the pattern file?

..........

Thank you if you can help me!

Sometimes you have to use a .pat file that was originally created to be a fill pattern import. You can't always rename a .txt file to .pat. To do this, go to your C:\ drive Revit folder Data > revit.pat. You can copy this file, delete everything, and then use it as a container for your new fill pattern .pat file. I was getting syntax errors on import until I did this.
