Hi All,

I've got an pattern made up of lots of small circles, but I would like ot make each of the circles into Hexagons in Illustrator...

Is there a quick & easy way of doing this?

Best,

HI Jacob,

Thanks for your reply but I sdont thikngn that will work. I was hoping you could highlight the circles & edit shape to a hexagon but becuase there aren't enough anchor points I dont think its possible!

Somewhere in this thread you can download an action that may suit your needs.

If I understand correctly these pattern is made in Illustrator. If so, you can edit that pattern by entering into pattern editing mode. In that case you will be able to change circle into hexagon and all other must changed automatically.
