Triangles Baffle Me
I can't seem to get a like border pattern in my Eq to test it with my pattern. A single diamond border doesn't give me the 2 diamonds and a double gives me too many. Is there a way to put angle rectangle blocks in the border?
Cute border idea - I played around with that thought and agree with you that a standard built in border will not work. While I am sure that there might be a more elegant solution, not knowing what your block looks like - this is what I did ...
Create a block in Parch Draw (polydraw in eq8) and make it long - like 8x20 6x12 or what ever works (you may have to do it a few time to get a measurement that looks good). Draw your block as a square block using those tools then select all and rotate (you could also draw it at and angle and not have to rotate it). You can then clone it and drag it to where you want it. Then go to Borders and choose a border style with blocks and place in your block that you just created with PolyDraw ... something like this ( put in two blocks to see what it would look like) ....

Was this the type of effect that you wanted? Maybe someone will have a better solution, but this will at least let you see what it might look like.
