Adjust pattern fill settings

You can insert a pattern fill at its original size and orientation, and then adjust settings later. You can also set the exact size and spacing as you insert the pattern fill. Spacing is the distance between each pattern repetition.

To adjust pattern fill settings...

1Double-click or right-click a pattern fill object. The Object Properties > Fill Stitch dialog opens with the current pattern in the preview panel.

5Adjust Rotation Angle as required (from -180° to +180°). This field sets the current rotation angle of the fill pattern (default is zero), and defines the orientation of the entire pattern fill.

If more than half a pattern is outside the boundary, it will be clipped along the boundary.
