Can't get Simple Pattern & Duplicate as pattern to work on Sketch v3.6.1

[monecchi]

I was wondering if the Simple Pattern & Duplicate as pattern plugins are compatible with Sketch latest version (v3.6.1 at the time of this writing)? I was so excited about using those plugins to automate some pattern generation. I hope it to be an isolated issue... I've taken a look to its source code and the logic behind it was very clear and simple, so I used another plugin called "Duplicator" to duplicate and move the shapes which needed to be cut to the exact place they'd be blended when repeating the pattern.

I simply got the cut shape's size and subtracted it from the pattern container's size and used the Duplicator plugin to position the cut shape right where it needed to be so it could be "joined/blended"...

So let's say the cut shape's size is 34x34px and the pattern container's size is 300x300px, then if moving the cut shape size to the right I'd subtract 34px from 300px getting 266px as the offset value for the Duplicator plugin to place the cut shape where it needs to be.

This is not an automated solution but it worked for me and I hope this tip can save someone else's day too.

Thank you for the contribution as also for making it available.

Let me check and get back to the issue.

The Simple Pattern & Duplicate as pattern works for me in 3.6.1. I have recorded a video on how that works:

Is there any steps difference in your workflow than my video?

Hey there @makzan, thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it another try, this time I'll try to recreate the video steps carefully. I'll let you know if it works. Your help is really appreciated.
