To create a pattern using the Fractalize command:
1 Select an object.
2 Select Window > Toolbars > Xtra Operations.
3 Click the Fractalize button.
Each application of Fractalize almost doubles the number of points on the selected object. This
can increase file size.
To set Mirror tool options:
1 Select Window > Toolbars > Xtra Tools.
2 Double-click the Mirror button in the Xtra Tools toolbar.
3 In the Mirror dialog box, select the axis around which the objects should reflect:
Horizontal reflects from top to bottom.
Vertical reflects from left to right.
Horizontal & Vertical reflects both ways at once.
Multiple reflects around multiple axes.
4 If you chose Multiple, set these additional options:
• Set the number of axes the object reflects around. (Specify 1 to 50 using the slider, or specify 1
to 100 by typing a value.)
• Select Reflect to multiply the path and its reflection, or select Rotate to multiply only the path.
5 Select Close Paths to close any open paths whose end points are within the Snap distance set in
general preferences; deselect the option to leave the paths open.
6 Click OK.
