    Apply a pattern fill. There are various of them included with AI. Just open the respective additional swatch library. To rotate them, use the rotate tool's panel dialog and chose to only transform the fill, not the object.

      How to "apply a pattern fill" ? How to "use the rotate tool's panel dialog"? Where is it? This answer is useless because it says the things I want to do but not how exactly how to do them.
