Position the
bar
select the bar and move
it 2 grid spaces from the left.
The right edge of the
bar should be 2 grid spaces from the left.
The leading edge
of the object snaps to the grid, so the result
depends on the
direction you are moving.
We also need to reserve space for the front electrode.
Our design must fit in
between.
Duplicate the bar and
position
the duplicate 2 grid
spaces form the right.
Completing the basic
pattern
Select the left bar
set the line color (outline) to ‘no line’
Select the right bar,
set its fill color to black
Group
all three objects
select all three
objects, right click,
from the pop-up menu,
select grouping,
select group.
The area for your
pattern.
Now you have the basic
pattern created.
You can now add
patterns between the left and right bars.
For aesthetic reasons
you will want to leave a margin
of at least one grid
unit around your pattern.

If the two bars do not
appear to have the same width,
This could be an
artifact of the display. Zoom the
display,
at higher magnification
they should appear equal.
