The Repeat Object tab does not appear in the Contextual Task Bar. I'm using Illustrator 29.5.1.
What is the reason?
How can I make it visible?
I would be grateful if you could help me.

This image from someone's YouTube SS: 

And this is mine: 

 

 

Correct answer Anubhav M

Sorry, my mistake, you were talking about the contextual task bar. That does indeed not show Repeat, but it is very limited in what it can show and not configurable.


Hello @alperenkose2000,

The option for Repeat Patterns is no longer available through the Contextual Task Bar. Please try using the standard method from Object > Repeat and let us know if it works for you.

Click the 3 dots on the right of the Control bar and see if it is enabled.

Sometimes there is just not enough space on the Control bar to show everything that is enabled. You may want to uncheck some of them or set your display to a higher resolution.

When I click on the three dots on the right these appear and not what I am looking for.

Looks like the top example is from an iPad version. Could that be the case?

Top one is PC, bottom (mine) MacMini.

Then probably it's a different version. I can get that option in version 2024. But not in 2025

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
