[Inkscape-user] pattern fill

Hi,

I'm trying to draw some boxes with pattern fills similar to those we can find in Xfig.

If I understood, we have to manually create a pattern by using the option "Objects to Pattern" and after apply to my boxes.

The problem is that I'm having problems to create those patterns. Depending on the size of the boxes, the result is very different....

Has anybody tried to draw boxes with those patterns we can find in Xfig? Or know how to do this? (I'm using inkscape 0.44)

Thanks, Marco
