The one thing nobody tells you about hatch patterns in a floor plan

I was laying out a bathroom remodel last week and kept seeing these awful jagged lines where my tile pattern met the wall. Spent two hours zoomed in trying to fix it before I realized I had my scale set wrong in the plot settings. The pattern was set to 1:1 instead of matching my viewport scale. Has anyone else lost time to this or am I the only one who overlooks the annotation scale?

Zoomed in on that exact problem last month with a diagonal brick pattern in a kitchen. Had the whole thing looking like a glitchy video game until I matched the hatch scale to the viewport. Fourteen sheets redone before I figured it out.

Man I feel that pain lol. Did a hospital job a while back where the hatch was off by like 0.1 on a brick wall pattern and it made the whole elevation look like a weird checkerboard from a distance. @victor_carr25 have you ever had that moment where you print a sheet and just sit there staring at it wondering if you're losing your mind? I've definitely done the "cry over 14 sheets" routine before, my record is 22 sheets of a parking garage layout because I didn't notice the hatch origin was jacked up until the third revision.
