pattern

Hi, I have a problem, I have an eps file that I want to fit into color boxes and then fill a surface,
but I can't get the pattern into color boxes, what's wrong?
kind regards Katarina

Can you show something? Is it a pattern that shows as such in the Swatches panel?

Did you try Object > Pattern > Make?

Looks like an image. What do you see if you select it and look in the Links panel, Control panel, Layers panel?

If it is an image you may want to recreate it with vector tools like the rectangle.

What happens when you open the EPS instead of placing it?
