    Default help with hatch pattern

    I've been trying for weeks now to make a custom hatch, displaying in elevation a cmu block wall with dimensions 8" x 16" with 1/2" spacing between blocks, this is my hatch code,

    *blockwallinches,block wall
    0, 0,0, .2159,.2159, .4064,-.0127
    0, 0,.2032, .2159,.2159, .4064,-.0127
    90, 0,0, .2159,.2159, .2032,-.2286
    90, -.0127,0, .2159,.2159, .2032,-.2286

    but for some reason beyond my patience the hatch pattern looks like this

    I know it's only one code to change, but to this day I can't find the right one.

    Thanks in advance.

    It looks like you want the pattern expressed in metres.

    Try this:

    *BlockWallInches,horizontal 16"x8" bond=1/2
    0,0,0,-0.20955,-0.2159,0.4064,-0.0127
    0,0,0.2032,-0.20955,-0.2159,0.4064,-0.0127
    -90,0,0.2032,0.2159,0.20955,0.2032,-0.2286
    -90,0.4064,0.2032,0.2159,0.20955,0.2032,-0.2286

    and thank you for a real-world test
