Is the 200 X 1200 size a nominal  dimension, i.e. from center to center of 2mm joints?  If so, that would not be difficult to define into a pattern.  If it's an actual  dimension, with the joint widths being outside that size, i.e. 202mm and 1202mm between centers of joints, that could conceivably be done, but would be a very large .pat file.

The offsets and skip lengths are large but necessary.to draw this arrangement.

For an example of why it matters, see >this<.

[And if you choose to use @hugha 's pattern definition, be aware that its lines are not only not  orthogonal when the pattern is used at an orthogonal rotation, but the "parallel" ones are not  all precisely parallel [though some are, and those that are not are very close], and the "perpendicular" ones are not  perpendicular [and farther off than the "parallel" ones.]

really thanks for kind reply...

but its showing error ..kindly help me to rectify this error...

[Anonymous]

really thanks for reply this excel use only for brick work not for herringbone hatch pattern.....

That message is from Revit.  While the pattern file is quite suitable for AutoCAD[1] it appears you are trying to take it into Revit where that message is issued on attempting to use Revit's Fill Manager to load patterns containing large offsets. 

You can avoid this size issue by installing our HatchKit Add-In for for Revit which loads such large patterns however this may be  a case of perfection being the enemy of the satisfactory.  Unless you are seeking to exactly model 2mm grout you may find a simpler herringbone pattern is   a) visually sufficient  b) lighter weight.

[1] Suitable that is if you can look past the inaccuracies in producing a practical result for 1200x200mm tiles surrounded by 2mm grout as was defined by 8 elements instead of the 360,000 times as many required for a pattern definition containing perfectly orthogonal elements.

Please kindly provide 200x1200x2mm gap and 400x2400x4mm gap as a output filetype..

its may be helpful for me...

[Anonymous]

Please kindly provide 100x600x1mm gap i will scale to double it will change as 200x1200x2mm gap....

this one also its helpful for me.....

[hugha]

For the first request use a text editor to copy this:

;%VERSION=3.0
;%UNITS=MM
*1200x200x2

;%TYPE=MODEL

to replace *patternname,...  within the AutoCAD pattern as posted above.

For other magnifications you can quite easily scale the resulting definition to suit.

BTW you can scale loaded patterns within a Revit project and manage their attributes such as name, type and orientation.
