Custom 6x36 tile Hatch Pattern

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a custom hatch pattern that i need to edit to make the vertical line 9" from the 0,0 origin. So the tile will be 36" long then be 6" in height. I thought i understood this but i am doing this wrong. I understand the first number is the angle that the line is to be drawn at. The second number is the x & y offset. The third & final numbers are where i get confused. I thought that since i am rotating everything 90 degrees & drawing a line 6 " long that the code would be

 

*Core_16_Tile, 6x36 One Quarter Elevation
90,0,0,-6,9,6,-9
0,0,0,0,6

 

Can someone please help me out?

Well, its closer than what i had. Basically, the first bottom tile at origin point 0,0 will be 36" long by 6" high. The text tile in a vertical direction will start at 9,6, & then the row above that will be 9,6 from that point.

Does it matter which side the smaller of the two distance stagger?

As you show in the pic, the angle is 90 degrees. The next offset will
have a positive X, and a negative Y. What I gave you earlier should
have been an equal stagger regardless of positive X or Y.

Try this:
90, 0,0, 6,-9, 6,-18

The offset distance is based on the angle of the line. If it helps,
this is where you turn the paper so the (dashed) line is horizontal
and the positive-X direction points to the right (East).
Now determine the X-direction and Y-direction.
In the pic above, the next line begins 6 units in the X direction
and -9 units in the Y direction.

The last pair of numbers is Pen Up / -Pen Down. A "0" is a dot.
You are drawing a line 6 units long and not drawing for 18
additional units before it starts a new cycle.

Notice I did not give a unit of measurement?

(apologies for not viewing your earlier attachment as I am not in
the habit of opening others' files)

Hope this helps.
