Hello, you can also use libraries to save your vector pattern and wit AI on ipad click on the picture icon on the left, choose the library and choose the file made with Capture.

I made a video, but the interface is in French. See Patterns when is Motifs and Librarie when it's Bibliothèque 😉

 

Let us know if it help!

Hi,
The workflow shared above definitely works wonderfully for shapes but unfortunately is currently not available for patterns. If you look closely, the asset placed on the Illustrator canvas in the video is a shape, it is the same shape asset that was earlier used to create a pattern, hence the confusion. The libraries import panel in Illustrator currently only lists shape assets. To use your patterns in Illustrator, saving the pattern tile to files and then importing it is the only way.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can use the following steps to take your pattern to ipad pro.
1. Export the pattern created in Capture in the desired format: pattern tile (PNG) / SVG and save the exported image to files on your device.
2. Then you can import this saved image to the iPad Pro Illustrator canvas by using the import from files. 
I have attached some images to help you in finding these workflows. Alternatively, if you want to use a pattern fill instead of tile, you can use the save to camera roll to save your pattern at desired fill to your device and then use it in Illustrator. Let me know if you face any problems while doing this. 
Thanks,
Nishtha
