I have another custom hatch pattern that SHOULD be simple but I just can't seem to get right. It is a diamond/cube tile pattern. I have drawn the cube to pick the dimensions but I still haven't gotten the formulas to where I can get them to work correctly. Please help. I'm thinking this SHOULD be able to be written with three lines of code but I keep jacking it up.
Custom Hatch Pattern Issue
I notice your diagonal dimension and vertical dimension are not the same. Shouldn't they be? I expect that's why the HatchKit result comes out with wacky angles [not simple 30 / 150 / 270 or equivalents].

For anyone not wanting the oddified proportions, but wanting a regular isometric stacked-cubes arrangement, here's one. The edge of a "cube" is one drawing unit long -- use the Hatch pattern Scale directly to make that whatever size you want. The origin is at one of the 3-line-end intersections [a closest-to-you virtual "corner" of a cube].
*ISOCUBES, Isometric stacked Cubes 30, 0,0, 1.5,.xxx-xxxxxxxx, 2,-1 150, 0,0, 1.5,.xxx-xxxxxxxx, 2,-1 270, 0,0, 1.5,.xxx-xxxxxxxx, 2,-1
[Yes, that's a lot of decimal places, to minimize pattern "drift" as distance from the origin increases -- knock some off if you like.]
EDIT: Wow -- the "system" is replacing my lots-of-decimal places number with those x's, for some inconceivable reason. Because it looks like a toll-free telephone number, maybe? [That's the only reason I can think of for its adding the hyphen where it did.] That element should be [with spaces added between digits here, because it wouldn't leave it alone outside the code window, either] . 8 6 6 0 2 5 4 0 3 7 8 in each case.
I'm attaching the .pat file, which supposedly will come through without the Bowdlerizing.

[Just so you know -- there is a reason, over-thought though it may be, which came out when I mentioned this in the Community Feedback Forum. A series of 11 digits is suspected by the system of being an AutoCAD serial number, and gets censored out that way. That's any such series, even when it doesn't include a hyphen where serial numbers have one, and that it so "helpfully" inserted for me. So in such a situation, when posting in a Message body, use 9 or 10 or 12 decimal places, not 11.]
