Hi,
I added a new custom pattern into patterns/metric folder
However, even after restarting QCAD, new pattern is not showing in hatch dialog.
Closure comment
Caused by an error in the pattern file.

Please attach both the drawing file (.DXF or .DWG) and the pattern file (.PAT).
Your drawing might not use metric resources or there might be an issue with your pattern file.
Thanks.
I have attached the test file. As you will see the drawing is in metric.
The pat file is stored in
/Applications/QCAD.app/Contents/Resources/patterns/metric
Just in case, I have also copied in imperial folder but the result is the same
cheers,
sam
Thanks.
The pattern file contains an unexpected control character on the last line (0x1A, Substitute). If you delete that last line, it will load correctly (see attached).
