Use the Window>Pattern Options (Panel)

Tweak the Width or Height numbers to remove the hairline.

Salut!

Je pense qu'il suffit de créer un motif (simple)

et de l'appliquer à un tracé ensuite les options doivent redevenir actives.

Hi

If it still isn’t working, show us two screenshots;

  • Your Swatches panel with the Pattern Swatch in it.
  • Double-click the Pattern to open Pattern edit mode and take a screen shot of the dialog and the pattern editing.

meganchi is correct; your artwork is not yet a pattern.

  • Drag the artwork into the "Swatch" panel to create a pattern
  • Fill an object with the pattern fill
  • Scale the pattern using Scale dialog or using "~" key method.

Without seeing your art, it is hard to answer. It may be that the site you downloaded the "pattern" from, is not a true pattern, but objects.

 

You can create one from what you downloaded by selecting the objects and dragging them to your swatches panel.

As rcraighead mentioned in thread:

1. Fill the object with the Pattern Fill.

2. When Scaling uncheck "Transform object"
