Applying tiled fills
Tiled fills are patterns based on a repeating object, or tile, that you create from
graphics or text pasted into the Fill inspector. You cannot create a tiled fill from an
EPS image, bitmap image, another tiled fill, or a lens-filled object.
To create and apply a tiled fill:
1 Copy the graphics or text you want to use as a tile.
2 Select the object you want to fill.
3 In the Fill inspector, choose Tiled from the fill type list.
4 Click Paste In to paste the tile in the preview window.
5 For Angle, enter a value or drag the wheel to set the tile’s orientation.
6 In the scale entry text boxes, enter x and y percentage values to resize the tile.
7 In the offset entry text boxes, enter values to shift the tile’s position within the
object being filled:
• Positive x values move the fill to the right; negative values move it left.
• Positive y values move the fill up; negative values move it down.
