[Patchy]

Open the acad.pat

copy the 8x16 pattern and make a 4x10 or 48x120

i tried but i didn't work for me...

so this is the

*AR-B816, 8x16 Block elevation stretcher bond
0,       0,0,      0,8
90,      0,0,      8,8,    

can you do it for me?

Hi @Anonymous,

This should give you a 4x10 pattern.  If you are working in inches and have units set to Architectural, you will need to scale this up by a factor of 12.

*4x10, 4x10 Block elevation stretcher bond
0, 0,0, 0,10
90, 0,0, 4,4

After adding new pattern, exit autocad and restart to see new pattern.

You left out the 8,-8 at the end of that second line....

Try this, if your drawing unit is a foot:

0, 0,0 0,4

90, 0,0, 4,5, 4,-4

Or, if it's an inch:

0, 0,0 0,48

90, 0,0, 48,60, 48,-48

[In the latter case, you could also use the first definition at a scale factor of 12.]

"Not working" isn't really enough information -- does it draw something but look wrong?  does it not come up as an available pattern?  does trying to use it result in some kind of error message?  etc.  Just to consider some possible reasons [since the content of several proposed definitions is identical to what did work]....

It needs to have a pattern name line [call it what you like, but format the content in the correct way].  And it needs to be either  added into the ACAD.pat file or  it needs to be saved to a file with a .pat filetype ending, with only the one definition in the file, and with the file name preceding that ending identical to the pattern name.  A mismatch there is a common mistake.  Another common mistake is to add it to the end of ACAD.pat but to not have an empty line at the end of the file  [i.e. the file must end with an Enter, not with the last character of the last pattern definition].
