hatch pattern unwanted outcome

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

thanks for the fast response on the previous post, now that everything works i need to understand what i am doing wrong, i cannot come up with a solution on a hatch i want to make.

The script is:

*METALMESH, TEST
22.5, 0,0, 0,0.63, 0.65,-0.169
157.5, 0,0, 0,0.63, 0.65,-0.169
-22.5, 0,0.49749, 0,0.63, 0.65,-0.169
-157.5, 0,0.49749, 0,0.63, 0.65,-0.169

and the outcome i am looking for is not as planned. please see pictures below.

I noticed my mistake, when typing in the offset in reference to the previous starting point I wasn't taking in account the angle of the line (22.5°) which rotates my local UCS by 22.5° and so my offset point was in the wrong location.
