Hello!
I am trying to create a custom hatch pattern for a 6.25" x 42" LVT plank with a 33% offset. For whatever reason, I have had extreme difficulty creating custom hatches and getting ahold of autodesk to trouble shoot over the phone has been difficult. I am not sure why it doesn't work out for me. I have attached a screen shot of the protocols we follow at work that USED to work for me. Below is what I have put into the .pat file, yet its not there when I open cad up again...
*LVT 6.25x42 33% Offset, LVT Pattern
0, 0,0, 14,6.25, 42,0
90, 0,0, 6.25,14, 6.25,-12.5
it was saved as "LVT 6.25x42 33% Offset"
Thanks for the assistance!
Might help to refer directly to AutoCAD's help:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/OARX/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-A6F2E6FF-1717-44B6-A476-0CA817ADD77E
describes allowed hatch pattern naming:
Badly worded but implies no spaces in pattern name, just [A-Z,a-z,0-9,_-$], commencing with a letter or number. Anything after a comma goes to the comment.
Max pattern name length (31 characters) is mentioned here:
