0,0,1100,0,1200,1100,-100
90,0,0,0,1200,1100,-100

Hatch origins (four corners as you asked) are not controlled in the pattern definition, it's a setting inside your DWG file instead: is that what you are asking for?

If I understand correctly what you're after, just use rotation to make the different origins.  As defined, at zero rotation, your pattern is generated from [has its origin at] the Lower Left corner of one of the squares it draws.  Just use 90° rotation for it to be generated from the Lower Right corner, 180° rotation for Upper Right, and 270° rotation for Upper Left.

I had it working yesterday, but today it's showing as solid, even though Properties and the ribbon say it's the right pattern name, and the pattern thumbnail looks right, and I double-checked that at the scale used, it should be showing the squares.  [But AutoCAD is not hanging, for me.]

 

BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO IT THIS WAY, I find that if I put that definition into ACAD.PAT itself, or perhaps for you ACADISO.PAT, and not in a file of its own, then it works fine.  Normally I would prefer to avoid putting custom patterns into AutoCAD's file, because transferring to new versions is easier if they are kept separate.  But if it works, and nothing else does....

[Does "asi hatch" mean one of the ANSI... patterns?]

 

If you added the pattern definition at the end of ACAD.pat, make sure there's a blank line at the end of the file, below the last line of the pattern definition.

 

If that doesn't fix it, it may help to save the .pat file, close out of AutoCAD completely, and restart AutoCAD.
