No "Model" type patterns found

Anonymous — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 22:12:03 GMT

I have no Idea what is causing this pattern to be unreadable, but could someone please help. I am trying to construct a wall tile pattern and I think it is relatively simple.

Here is the pat and attached is a sketch

;%UNITS=INCH
;%VERSION=3.0

*ELWTP, Staggered

;%TYPE=MODEL

0, 0, 0, 0, 120
0, 0, 72, 0, 120
90, 0, 0, 32, 0, 72, -48
90, 0, 72, 24, 0, 48, -72

I am not sure why it keeps trying to upload sideways

I bet it would work if you delete ";%version=3.0".

~~Could be wrong. But ";%type=model" couldn't hurt.~~

oops. I just saw it has ";%type=model"

What about also putting "*ELWTP, Staggered" above everything else.

how did you cheat, @Anonymous? Did you already have ELWTP?

I also cheated in creating this pattern containing two unbroken lines (the verticals) and two broken lines (the horizontals) for a total of four elements as opposed to 10.

;%TYPE=MODEL
90,192,0,0,192
90,72,0,0,192

0,72,32,0,-32,120,-72

Edit: OP was so close - as flipping the posted dX and dY values for the broken lines as shown below yields the desired pattern.

Note that a zero dY (offset normal to the line segment) will render the pattern completely undrawable so any such pattern does not load - instead emitting that cryptic all-purpose error message.

;%UNITS=INCH
;%VERSION=3.0

*ELWTP, Staggered

;%TYPE=MODEL

0, 0, 0, 0, 120
0, 0, 72, 0, 120
90, 0, 0, 0, 32, 72, -48
90, 0, 72, 0, 24, 48, -72

hope this helps,

It was setting dy equal to zero was the probelm! I had forgotten that numbers 3 and 4 are displacement direction and distance and I was treating it like x2 and y2. Thank you so much!

This was the final solution is anyone was curious:

;%UNITS=INCH
;%VERSION=3.0

*ELWTP, Stacked
;%TYPE=MODEL

0, 0, 0, 90, 120
0, 0, 72, 90, 120
90, 0, 0, 0, 32, 72, -48
90, 0, 72, 0, 24, 48, -72
