I'm trying to edit the standard steel fill pattern from a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree angle but when I edit the '.pat' txt file for steel from 45 to 90, i do not get the result i'm after.
here is a sample of the .pat txt file: Before & After.
*Steel, Steel Cut
;%TYPE=DRAFTING
45, 0, 0, 0, 0.14
45, 0, 0.15, 0, 0.14
*Steel, Steel Cut
;%TYPE=DRAFTING
90, 0, 0, 0, 0.14
90, 0, 0.15, 0, 0.14
It rotates to be 90 degrees ok but the pattern seems to lose it's (double line followed by a space and so on) look. I'm getting a pattern that just has single lines with equal spaces between each.
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? Does anyone have experience with editing these .pat files successfully.
The below attachments show the steel pattern before editing. and after i edit with the undesired result. The third pic is what i really want to see.
Thankyou for your time and help!
