Custom Brick Hatch Pattern

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 22:34:48 GMT

Hello everyone,

I need help with creating a hatch pattern for brick.

Brick dimension is 2.5x8.75" with 0.25" mortar joint.

I have created the pattern, but it is giving me an error saying "missing parameter on line 7"

Could anyone give me an advice on how to fixing this?

*8in Ontario Size Brick, 3 COURSES TO 8.25 inch
0, 0,0.25, 4.5,3, 8.75,-0.25
90, 8.75,0.25, 6,9, 2.5,-3.5
0, 0,3, 4.5,3, 8.75,-0.25
90, 0,0.25, 6,9, 2.5,-3.5
90, 4,3.5, 6,9, 2.5,-3.5
90, 4.5,3.5, 6,9, 2.5,-3.5

This is what I have done for the PAT file.

Let me know.

save the above with a blank line at the end to file 8inOntarioSizeBrick.PAT on your source file path.

Note:

1. a blank line is required as the last line within the .PAT file

2. pattern and filename can only contain characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, $, _ (underscore) or -(hyphen).

Thank you for the reply Hugha,

I have tried it, but it gives me an AutoCAD error for some reason.

does it work on your end?

could you email me your PAT file?; lee.seungyoon.architect@gmail.com

I overwritten on my mine with blank line added, but still not working.

Let me know.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I fixed the issue and it is working now.

I modified little since the birck was 2.5x8.75.

Just for my better understanding.

in the mid portion, -4.5,2.75, why is it negative 4.5 instead of positive?

Could you explain to me? I am getting confused with it.

Thank you so much.

For the gaps, use negative as said in the video.

Hi all,

Anyone has the custom brick code pattern for the 230 X 76 (110 DEEP) with the 10mm mortar joints? This is the standard Australian brick size. Thanks for any help.
