@@EliasSarantopoulos Yes my keyboards in English. What I used to do was duplicate the pattern using option + drag I think and I’d then resize it and select the original pattern and use the eye dropper tool. For some reason that no longer works.
Asaas, yes there is and it is covered inside the tutorial towards the end parts. There are chapters you can follow. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! 😀 👋
Hi! So, I'm self-taught so this may be a dumb question, but I successfully created the pattern I wanted and am able to use it in different shapes, etc. However...when I try to open a new blank artboard the swatch isn't there? Its just in the original file I created to make the pattern but not visible with the other swatches in a new project? Help, thank you!
That is very true! In this case you have the option from the fly-out menu bar to export the Swatch library or at the bottom you can click to Swatch Libraries Menu to Save Swatches onto your system. Either way, this is a normal behavior. 👋
So if you save it to your computer - can you then upload that swatch to a new project whenever you want to use it? Can you still edit it? Thank you@@EliasSarantopoulos !
@@georgeluchoronga2462 Pathfinder combines shapes into one solid one so it keeps the one that is on top of the layer stack. Try and see, I think that will be the case. 😀
Hi,excuse me, am here again to know how save patterns. 1.I created patterns and saved them as ai but I failed(error message)How can I save as ai format. 2. When I saved as ase format and try to open on user defined, a menu popped up but it didn't contain that custom pattern /swatch I created. Please help me dears.
@@georgeluchoronga2462 Maybe you are getting a software error, I can not tell. When you create a pattern and you save it, can you see it inside the Swatches panel?
As a total beginner, I really like how clear your instructions are. The best!
Thank you for your kind feedback! 😀 👋
I love your vids my friend. Please keep sharing. Truly one of the best instructors on UA-cam ⭐️
You so ever kind, thank you 👋😀
When I press the tilda and shift key to resize the pattern it automatically selects the curvature tool any way to fix this?
Ali, I've never experienced that on my end. Is your keyboard language set to English? 😊
Mine too! Cant figure out way...
@@AngelicaCamargo-u1k As far as I know on my end using an EN keyboard it works Angelica. 😀

@@DDBOffice Yes to both questions. Inside the Swatches panel, double click on the pattern and that will bring you to the pattern editing mode. 😁👋
Sorry! May you help me to know why only one colour was retained by strokes after being united in pathfinder.

@@georgeluchoronga2462 All patterns are saved automatically as AI file formats inside the Swatches panel.

@@EliasSarantopoulosNo, Just on the artboard
@@georgeluchoronga2462 So I guess you need to save them as I do inside the tutorial. If you have further questions, you can always email me. 😀
first 7 minutes completely unrelated to patterns that's what we like to call an epic fails bros
There are chapters you can skip if you wish. 🤷♂️😀
