catlover Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Are we going to see a pattern fill function in the future ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 catlover, its already there. It can be found in Layer>new fill layer>. Then select bitmap as the option in the drop down on the top left in the toolbar. You will have to choose which pattern "bitmap" that you want to use, then your screen may look a little odd but just drag out from center the cursor and your pattern can be adjusted in scale and rotation.

catlover Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thank you, Evtonic3. I tried it out, works fine. However, it's not quite what I meant : I would like to be able to fill an object (rectangle, or some such like) with a pattern fill. So far I haven't been able to achieve this. Could yoou possibly give me a hint ? Thanks C.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi, Catlover: try this. Select the rectangle, switch to the Fill tool (in the Draw persona), and in the context bar change the type to Bitmap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi catlover, If you are looking to insert a tileable pattern at 1:1 scale, it's not possible yet. You can fill an object with a bitmap as @evtonic3 and @Dave pointed out (make sure you press ⇧ (shift), while starting a new drag of the pattern inside the object to keep its ratio) but there's currently no way to set it to its original px dimensions. I requested this sometime ago and hopefully we should be able to lock it to its original dimensions later.
