CA 10 - Custom .pat Hatch / Fill

[rcmcdougle]

Hey guys,

I needed a diamond plate hatch for a current project and found some on the web.
As I am building my .pat file I saw that Chief does not like to scale custom
hatches at <1. It seem that I can't get Chief 10.08a to scale either way on
these I created as variations to try to force the scale. They all look the same
size no matter what I do. I chose them to work with as they are very simple.
#3 gives a solid horizontal line even though it would seem to duplicate the
syntax of the other 2.

Any ideas?


*diaplate-1, Diamond Plate
0, 0,0, 0.0625,0.0625, 0.0625,-0.0625
90, 0.03125,0.03125, 0.0625,0.0625, 0.0625,-0.0625
*diaplate-2, Diamond Plate
0, 0,0, 0.03125,0.03125, 0.03125,-0.03125
90, 0.015625,0.015625, 0.03125,0.03125, 0.03125,-0.03125
*diaplate-3, Diamond Plate
0, 0,0, 2,2, 2,-2
90, 1,1, 2,2, 2,-2

Thanks in advance,

Bump... I guess my question was too vague.

How can I make diaplate-1 display smaller?

I created diaplate-2 with all intervals 1/2 size but it displays the same as #1.

I created #3 with the intent to make an easier to scale pattern but it displays the same size as #1 but with a continuous (not dashed) horizontal line. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
