giantlobsterprd Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I seem to have pasted an object using a pattern fill from AI into AD. Surprisingly, AD seems to support this just fine, and hasn't rasterised it or anything. Having said that, I've been wracking my brain trying to work out if I can edit the pattern from within AD, or even create new ones. Coming up blank on that. Any help? I've attached the file, you want to look at the bottom layer (Layer 2) and the related swatch is in the swatches palette.

A_B_C Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi Dan, are you sure, that the fill does not get rasterised? Unfortunately it does not look like that … am I doing something wrong? Seems like a bitmap fill here … yes, the Fill Tool in Bitmap mode works on this. But as Matt said, true vector fills are “definitely coming” … https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3628-vector-hatch-fill/?p=34015 BTW Awesome design, Dan … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantlobsterprd Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks... I guess it may be rasterised but it's happening at a resolution so high that it doesn't seem to matter. Having said that, I don't know how to do this as a raster fill either.

A_B_C Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Dan, simply use the Fill Tool (Gradient Tool) and choose Bitmap from the context tool bar to create bitmap fills … :) Here’s a tutorial (watch from 3:33): Hope that is informative … cheers, Alex :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
