Transforming pattern-filled objects
If an object that you want to transform
is filled with a pattern, you can choose
to transform only the pattern, transform
only the object, or transform the pattern
and object simultaneously.
Once you have transformed a fill pat-
tern, all patterns that you subsequently
apply will be transformed the same way.
To return fill patterns to their original
states, select another paint style, and
then reselect the desired pattern.
You can transform fill patterns using the
dialog box associated with a transfor-
mation tool or through the General Pref-
erences dialog box. Regardless of the
method you choose, turning this option
on or off in any dialog box updates the
option in all dialog boxes. For more
information on setting this option, see
Choosing preferences that affect how
objects move.
