Hi, new with Illustrator on the Ipad. I've figured out how to create radial-mirror-grid... but if I want to turn it off, how to I do that? Once I create a radial repeat and want to go back to a single object? Most likely a simple thing that I just can't seem to find. Please help out. Thx

Click "Object" "Expand" "Ungroup" Took me forever to figure out.

the best thing to do is: 
Object -> Repeat -> Release

    In the object section you click the first option (expand) and then you click ungroup. You will have to erase some stuff but you will be able to un-mirror.

        Good question, I'm trying to do the same. I was changing an object and accidentally added a second radial grid on top of a rectangular grid, and I can't seem to remove the radial grid (I headed for the undo icon and hit the "exit" arrow by mistake, so the change was saved and no way to undo.

         

        Seems like this should be a "release" function like releasing a clipping group or other similar effect. But I am not seeing it anywhere.

          Yeah, strange. You would think there would be a "release" function!? I've watched 15 youtube videos and everybody show how to add racial/mirror/grid..... but not a single one tell how to take it away?! Hopefully someone can help us out...
