Note: Changes made to the original source layer, such as opacity or shearing, are
respected in the pattern after the replicator is created.
• In the Canvas, the default rectangle pattern appears, centered in the same location as
the source object.
• In the toolbar, the Adjust Item tool is selected so you can immediately begin using the
replicator’s onscreen controls.
Adjust Item tool
When the Adjust Item tool is selected, dragging the pattern’s onscreen controls (the
bounding box) resizes the replicator. Dragging in the Canvas (not over the bounding
box outline) repositions the replicator object as a whole.
• The Replicator HUD appears.
Note: If you have hidden the HUD, press D.
