To create a pattern from a source layer
1 Place an object to replicate into your project.
This example uses a bird graphic from the Content folder in the Library.
2 Select the object, then do one of the following:
• In the toolbar, click the Replicate button.
• Choose Object > Replicate (or press L).
When a layer is replicated, the following occurs:
• The replicator layer (labeled “Replicator”) appears in the Layers list and is selected.
• A duplicate of the original layer (the bird shape) becomes the replicator cell.
• The original source layer (the bird shape) is disabled.
