I am attempting my first .pat file for a 16"x24" CMU block. This is my file:

;angle, x-origin, y-origin, shift, offset, dash, space, dash, space ...

;%UNITS=INCH

;%VERSION=3.0

;

*Block 16x24,  16 x 24 blocks stacked

;%TYPE=MODEL

;0,0,0,0,16

;90,0,0,24,16,16,-16

When I try and insert as a custom MODEL pattern I get the error message "No Model type patterns found" 

What is wrong with my .pat file? Thanks for the help all!

Try removing the semicolon from before the numerical data

like this

;angle, x-origin, y-origin, shift, offset, dash, space, dash, space ...

;%UNITS=INCH

;%VERSION=3.0

;

*Block 16x24,  16 x 24 blocks stacked

;%TYPE=MODEL

0,0,0,0,16

90,0,0,24,16,16,-16

Have fun.
