Vector patterns can have transparent or color background. To save the pattern, click the Save as new button. The area can include any objects or parts of objects that you have drawn. Select an area of the workspace that you want to use as a pattern.
In the Fill area of the Properties docker, click the New source button below the Fill picker, and choose New source from document. To create a vector or bitmap pattern from the workspace
This action applies the fill without closing the Fill picker. You can also apply a fill by clicking a fill thumbnail in the Fill picker.

To apply a vector or bitmap pattern fillĬlick the Interactive fill tool in the toolbox, and then click one of the following buttons on the property bar: For more information, see Save fills and transparencies. You can create a new pattern by selecting an area of the workspace to use as a tile, or by using an imported image as a tile source.Īfter you create a new pattern, you can save it for future use. The pattern is created by repeating the tile to fill up the object. Depending on the size of the object, the pattern fill may consist of one or more tiles. Vector and bitmap patterns are made up of smaller units called tiles. You can also adjust pattern parameters such as the brightness, luminance, and color contrast of the pattern. You can also create a radial or linear seamless blend between the bitmap pattern tiles, and you can smooth the color transition between tiles by matching their edges. The brightness and the contrast of bitmap patterns can be adjusted. For example, if you enlarge the object, the pattern becomes larger while the number of tiles remains the same. If you want a pattern fill to change according to actions you perform on the filled object, you can set the fill to transform with the object. You can mirror the fill so that alternating tiles are reflections of each other. The center of the tile is moved down (right). The center of the pattern tile is moved to the right (middle).
