The next field shown below is the X-Offset and Y-offset values.Īs the horizontal line contains no dashes no offset in X direction is required as the line is offset. *HBSTRCES,Stretcher Bond Brickwork - 0, 0,0, 0,75 The next field shown below is the X,Y co-ordinates of the line origin, this determines the starting point of the line. *HBSTRCES,Stretcher Bond Brickwork - 0 ,0,0,0,75

Angles are measured from a horizontal axis and are measured anticlockwise eg 0 degrees (3 o'clock) =horizontal, 90 degrees (12 o'clock) = vertical. The first field shown below is the angle of the line in degrees. *HBSTRCES, Stretcher Bond Brickwork - 0,0,0,0,75 The pattern name is separated from the description with a comma, you can put anything that describes the pattern.
