thank you so much, that was simple and clear

[@HelenBradley]

Glad it helped!

[@rileyhoyt7366]

Another way to avoid the "fracture lines" is to convert the path to a shape before making the pattern. If you select the line segment and then go to object > path > outline stroke, then create the pattern it should prevent this.

[@HelenBradley]

Thank you! That’s another good tip. Seriously these fracture lines are such a horrible and ongoing problem. What works one day on one pattern will fail spectacularly the next day. So having a grab bag of possible solutions is gold! I’m adding this to my list, thank you so much.

Hi Helen, thanks for this. Would you be able to do a tutorial on creating patterns within strokes please. Patterns, particularly the diagonal line, as a border inside or outside a 'shape' is probably the best use I can think of for this purpose, though I see a lot of modern maps with this effect as well.

[@magnamakers3219]

How can we save this in the color swatch so we can open it up and use it again?

[@HelenBradley]

Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKqynIeOmM59oLM It should have all you need to save your patterns and reuse them.

[@juanitaonthego7745]

Hello, can you show how to do a pattern with dotted diagonal lines? :)

Thank you!

I am from Bangladesh. It would be more clearable if u were not so fast.

[@HelenBradley]

I am so sorry. Will it help to slow the video down a bit?

[@GabrielKakeKake]

Illustrator is a powerful tool but then it has some aspects (details) that are very poor. The one to create linear patterns, for example, should be something very simple and fast. And yet it is messy, tedious and unnecessarily complicated.

[@HelenBradley]

Yep!

Ma'am, your vocal was clear and completely understandable. Do not change a single thing about your "low voice".
