| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The PAT has overlapping lines or zero-length dashes. | Check that dash lengths are positive. Use OVERKILL in AutoCAD before exporting. | | Seams are visible | The DXF tile boundary is not mathematically identical on opposite edges. | Ensure the leftmost line ends exactly at the same Y coordinate as the rightmost line. Use OSNAP to draw the tile boundary. | | Arcs are missing | PAT files do not support arcs natively. | Explode arcs into short line segments (Chord length < 0.1 drawing units). | | PAT file not found in AutoCAD | The pattern name inside the file does not match the filename. | Open .pat in Notepad. If filename is wood.pat , the first line must be *wood, ... (case-sensitive on Linux, not on Windows, but match for safety). | | Conversion is slow | DXF contains too many nodes (millions of line segments). | Simplify the DXF using PEDIT > Join to combine collinear lines. | | Check that dash lengths are positive
