Revit Custom Pattern

I am trying to create a custom hatch and I can't figure out why it isn't working. I have created a pattern in grid within AutoCAD and indicated the coordinate values. Because I don't have a repeating pattern between adjacent lines, I have created a line of "code" for each line in the overall pattern unit. This is hard to explain, but I have attached an image of my process. I have also attached an image of the final appearance. 

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

The pattern:

Shouldn't the column with 90 and 300 be swapped? Since it's "delta x, delta y". Your delta x, so your horizontal repetition, is 300 and your delta y, your vertical repitition, is 90.

It was actually the x origin and y origin that I needed to swap. I had a dumb dumb moment when I realized that. The simple things are the easiest to overlook!

 

The 90 and 300 are in the right order because the shift comes first, which is the shift upwards, then the offset is second, which is offset along x axis/over. It was a stupid fix, and don't see my updated reply on here. Thanks for the help anyway!
