If you use the Fill tool set to bitmap and bring a square object in to a square rectangle the edges will snap, see guides, Set Wrap off and Maintain aspect ratio off.
snapping
Set Maintain aspect and Wrap back on.
There might be better ways?

I'm not sure I'm the person to make a video! If you can understand my method you're welcome to all the video-making/tutorial glory there is to be had!

I know this post is pretty old, but since it was what came up when I was trying to address this same issue, I thought I'd post my solution for the next person to stumble by desperately trying to tile print.
(I'm printing on letter pages (8.5" x 11") with a margin of .2" I wanted some overlap just to be safe.)
I had great success with making my drawing on a page that was 24" x 21" (3x2 letter pages - a .25 margin) and drawing dotted cutting lines at the 8", 16" mark and the 10.5" mark - for reference for easy dividing later. I then grouped my entire drawing, copied it, and created a new document with letter sized artboards. I made and arranged 6 artboards so they were in a 3x2 grid and pasted my entire (large) drawing into each artboard. I dragged the grouped drawing around the artboard so the dashed lines showed up just inside the boundaries according to which 'tile' the drawing was in. Then, you just print from there! or export to a pdf. Whatever you want!
