Simple Custom Hatch Pattern Won't Work

[mazmier]

Hi All:

Why is this very simple hatch pattern not working? I can see it there under the hatch custom tab but when I select it I get an error message.

*BRICK67250, Brick 67x250
0, 0,0, 0,250
90, 0,0, 0,67

Thanks.

That should show a 67 wide by 250 high grid.

Check that the pattern is stored in a separate file called BRICK67250.PAT and that there is a blank line at the end of the file.

Hi:

Thanks for your reply.

Yes it is stored in BRICK67250.PAT and does have a blank line at the end of the file, but it just won't work. I get an error in pattern file message when I try to use it.

I hope this is a silly suggestion but are any of your "zero"s actually "oh"s ?

It's short enough to try typing in again with NotePad or PSPad.

Save in ANSI (DOS) format.

(Attached PSPad hex edit mode shows line terminations as 0D 0A byte pairs).

Thanks for your response and sorry for my late reply.

I've tried just about everything, it really should be quite staright forward and simple, but it's just not working. It's become quite ridiculous.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with PSPad but will check it out, looks interesting.

Eureaka!!! There was an error in the naming of the actual file which did not match the pattern name.

Thanks all for your patience and Happy New Year.
