Hi,
Everytime I try to make a pattern in illustrator it freezes or runs extremley slow! I have been hand painting my designs and uploading the image to photoshop. I cutt them out with the lasso tool in photoshop then place in illustrator and convert into vector file. Could this be a sizing issue? Very frustrated and would really appreciate some help so I can make these designs for work!
Thanks!
Well, yes: as I said: there are likely hundreds of thousands of paths in your file.
What you are doing doesn't make a lot of sense.
If you have painted something, then why bother about vector? Make a high resolution pixel pattern in Photoshop.

You mean you have a painted image and then use Image Trace on it and then make a pattern?
Autotracing a painting will give you a gazillion of paths. Making that into a pattern and applying that pattern multiplies the number of paths even more.
It's not surprising that it takes Illustrator a minute to render that on screen for you.
What are you trying to accomplish when autotracing those images?

It's taking hours to produce one pattern...Im trying to accomplish patterns from my images that I convert to vector but it's at the point where the program crashes everytime.
