This was so helpful, I started at university and was a week late due to having covid. So I was behind and I didn't want to have to sit through 2 hours worth of a recorded lecture just to do what you did in 12 minutes. Our assignment was to of course to make a pattern so this has been a life saver

Greetings, I would like to add something to this because although this was a magnificent tutorial, I had some difficulties having the pattern show up on my actual swatches- every time I would drag it, it would not show there. I would like to add that this process will not work if the items you have in your pattern are are not embed it. In other words, If you are bringing in a file from a different artboard, make sure you embed that one and expanded. I had a hard time figuring out why it wouldn't work. Thank you very much for this wonderful and helpful tutorial. I hope this serves for help to some people.

@@livlauryn It is like the create clipping mask function. You can do either of the 2 to achieve the same result. I said it was perfect for when you dont want to work woth a clipping mask layer. 3 years after, I now prefer the clipping mask over the crop using pathfinder. It is less destructive.
@livlauryn2 жыл бұрын
@@PoisonousRakun Hi, thank you for responding but I mean I tried following the instructions but it didn't work. I'm new to illustrator so I don't know either method, nor do I know how to use a clipping mask in anything but photoshop.
@PoisonousRakun2 жыл бұрын
@@livlauryn It works like this. Group your elements. Add a shape that serves as your mask layer... place it on top of the grouped layer. Select both the shape and the group. Select Pathfinder on the Window dropdown menu. Click crop. So anything outside the shape will be cropped out. Anything inside will stay.
