Chapter 15 Replicator 564
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.
Note: Changes made to the original source layer, such as opacity or shearing, are respected in
the pattern after the replicator is created.
•
In the Canvas, the default rectangle pattern appears, centered in the same location as the
source object.
