Help[ with Hatch Pattern

I had used an AutoLISP routine (from RevitIQ) to generate a hatch pattern. The process involved drawing the required pattern in a 1"x1" square in AutoCAD, then running the routine. When I try to add it to Revit, I get this error message -

This is the pattern that I was aiming at -

Have you tried to reduce the Import scale?

Doesn't work. The CAD drawing is in a 1"x1" box. I did try to scale the pattern up and trim it to fit into the box - no good.

Can you share the pat file?

Doesn't work. I would suggest import the CAD file in as drafting lines and use Hatch Kit add-in to create the pattern. I have no experience with the program you are using.

The attached fill pattern will load to Revit as a Drafting Pattern when scaled between 0.1 to 0.5.

You can then use the free HatchKit Add-In for Revit to create a model fill directly from that loaded pattern at any scale of your choice.
