Creating a bespoke pattern line

Hello,

I need to add eyelet guides to artwork of various sizes. I’m trying to create a patterned line where the 'eyelet' marks stay the same size and maintain equal spacing, regardless of how much the line is scaled. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Can you please show an example of such a line pattern and also how that scaling would look like?

So it's the crosses that need to be the pattern. Need to remain the same distance apart when the line is increased or decrease in size

The only brush that would do this is the scatter brush. It will be uncontrollable at the corners.

 

Does it need to be a line?

You could also draw the cross and then use the transform effect to make the copies. You would need two graphic styles, one for horizontal and one for vertical.
