   THANK YOU!!! You have solved the mystery of the no-fill, no-stroke bounding box that sets the boundaries of the pattern swatch! Much appreciated.

   Very Nice again. But your pattern has a little gap making verticle line, sometime I also face this kind of problems, like verticle, horizental or diagonal lines and its hard to fix it manually, do you have any idea how to adjust this easily?

   Not in Illustrator by making just one repeat and putting it into the swatches palette. You’d have to manually do a half drop and then turn it into a swatch. Maybe in a future version they will add this feature!
