2 On the first line, enter the header in this format: *Concrete Paver .
3 On the next line, enter the type declaration: ;%TYPE=MODEL .
The first value for a pattern descriptor is the angle at which the pen line is drawn. For example,
a 0 angle indicates the line is horizontally straight; 90 angle indicates the line is drawn vertically
straight.
4 Create the first pattern descriptor, using the following values:
■ Angle: 0
This value is the angle at which the pen line is drawn. For example, a 0 angle indicates the
line is horizontally straight; a 90 angle indicates the line is drawn vertically straight.
■ Origin: 0, 0
These values are the x-origin and y-origin, which indicate the start point.
■
Shift: 5.656, 5.656
These values establish the x-shift and y-shift, which is the x and y distance between the start
of any pass and the start of the next pass.
■ Pen down: 3.3125
■ Pen up: -8
Pen down and pen up indicate how long the pen is down and how long the pen is up,
respectively. A negative number indicates the pen is up.
The first pattern descriptor is complete:
0, 0, 0, 5.656, 5.656, 3.3125, -8
The pattern is as shown:
5 Create the second pattern descriptor, using the following values:
■ Angle: 0
■ Origin: 0, 3.3125
■ Shift: 5.656, 5.656
■ Pen down: 3.3125
■ Pen up: -8
The pattern is as shown:
Because you changed the origin, the lines are drawn above the first set.
6 Create the third pattern descriptor, using the following values:
■ Angle: 90
■ Origin: 0, 0
■ Shift: 5.656, 5.656
■ Pen down: 3.3125
■ Pen up: -8
