Question

How to Scale and Resize a pattern in Illustrator CC

Hello,

I'm trying to scale and rotate y patterns in Illustrator CC but even if I have checked "Size Tile to Art" and "Move Tile with Art" the pattern still not changing, it is behaving as if it was a clipping mask, only the shape containing the pattern changes.

Also I'm having issues with the artifacts as they are showing up in the prints, how can I eliminate them?

Thanks

    Can you show an example?

    In the image below the pattern looks a bit blurry but you can see number 1 is the original image, number 2 is where I enlarged the circle but the pattern stays the same size and number 3 I rotated the circle but the pattern doesn't rotate. It's locked and I cannot resize it nor rotate it. I want the lines to be diagonal.

    Am hoping the number and the pattern in fill are different. You can try selecting the circle, then Object > Transform > Rotate... here check off 'Transform Objects' and check 'Transform patterns'. Also turn Preview ON to see if you're getting the results.
