lssue saving a txt file as a pat file on a Mac

 I can't get the following hatch pattern to save on my Mac to a .pat file extension.  

 

Could someone help me convert this to a .pat extension?  Mine Mac keeps creating a .txt after the .pat  Just FYI...I have tried it with a blank line at the end. 

 

Any help or ideas on this will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Joanna

Also make sure that you save PAT file as Plain Text.

Thank you! It says it is plain text in Finder. I don't know what I am
missing on this one. I even changed the default to plain text in the
Notepad preferences. It still keeps showing up with a .txt extension.

When you save the file, you need to add ".pat" at the end of the name (without quotes of course) and uncheck the option I showed in my previous post.
