| Edit a pattern - Either select a graphic with a pattern in your main document and click "Edit Pattern" in the Fill Inspector, or double-click any pattern in the Pattern Palette. Click Save when done. Altering the repeat - Use Vertical & Horizontal Tiling sliders to change distance between each repeat. Delete a pattern - Follow instructions for "Edit a pattern", and click "Delete" button. Changing what's shown - Click and drag on the Clipping lines in the Mini-Doc to change what's clipped by the pattern, and everything in the box formed by the 4 lines will be shown - tiling can reduce this, though. Note: TIFFS and EPS objects cannot be used since they cause Display PostScript errors. | ||||||||

 | Auto Trace lets you convert TIFF images into editable splines. | |||||||
| ||||||||
 | 1. Bring up Auto Trace Control panel. Tools->Auto Trace... 2. Choose a TIFF - The AutoTrace panel will attempt to find an image to trace in this order: a. The selected graphic if it is an image b. The background image if there is one c. The image opened with "Open Image..." 3. Click "Trace" - A progress monitor will appear, since it can take a long time on large images. You can stop the trace at anytime by clicking on the STOP button. | |||||||
