Moving patterns
Patterns begin tiling from the ruler ori-
gin and keep tiling in a left-to-right
sequence, from bottom to top, until the
selection is filled. See
How patterns tile
for more information.
You can adjust where all patterns in
your artwork begin tiling by changing a
document’s ruler origin.
To move all of the patterns within
a file:
1
Choose View
>
Show Rulers.
2
With the selection pointer on the box
in the lower right corner where the
rulers intersect, begin dragging into the
window. When the ruler origin (the two
intersecting lines) are positioned as
desired, release the mouse button. For
help with this step, see
Changing the
ruler origin .
All new patterns within the file will
begin tiling from the new ruler origin.
If you have moved pattern tiles within
objects, the pattern tiles are now moved
from the new ruler origin.
