AD: How to create vector diagonal stripe fill?

[benwiggy]

I'm trying to create a rectangle with a diagonal striped fill in Designer. The only posts I've found talk about making a bitmap, but I want a vector pattern. 

 

I've also seen a video about creating a Pattern Layer, but there's no explanation of how you then apply this to a rectangle. 

 

I could just create a repeating series of thick lines, but I'm hoping there's an easier way.

 

Thanks

Create one line and power duplicate it

or

Use the new "Move / Duplicate" option

The easiest is to just reuse some SVG vector pattern generator etc. and then to clip the vector patterns to objects as a fill. The net is full of such stuff ...

• SVG Generators (a common overview)
• https://svg-stripe-generator.web.app/
• https://pattern.monster/
• https://iros.github.io/patternfills/
• https://heropatterns.com/
• ... and so on ...

AFAI recall also under the resource section here in the forum there should be some such vector based pattern assets (do a search there).

My attached video shows one simple technique using the Quick Grid functionality (press arrow key while drawing the shape) and Clipping (drag layer onto the name of another vector layer).

Awesome, @GarryP. That's pretty much it.

I would recommend also trying the other things mentioned in the thread so that you have a better idea of what is possible.
