Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 653
Using an Image for a Replicator Shape
The following section describes how to use an image as the source for a replicator
pattern.
To use an image for a replicator shape:
1 Import the image you want to use as the pattern source into your project.
2 In the Replicator tab, choose Image from the Shape pop-up menu.
The Image Source well appears in the Inspector and Dashboard.
3 From the Layers tab, drag the image to the Image Source well.
4 When the pointer becomes a curved arrow, release the mouse button.
A thumbnail of the image appears in the well and the image is used as the source
shape for the replicator.
Note: You may want to disable the source image in the Layers tab so it is not visible in
your project.
