Creating a Seamless Pattern

OK, I figured out my problems with creating a patter from a JPEG!
Woo Hoo!
However, I'm wanting to create a pattern that will not have seams in it. For instance, I'm filling a path that is about 12 inches by 12 inches with the pattern I created, but there is a seam running right through the center of the filled area. Anyway to create a pattern without seeing seams?
Thanks

Only by making your original image that you used for the pattern larger than the area to be filled or by having repeating elements on all edges. Generally rasters don't have the elements to make a repeating pattern. If you have a regular, repeating pattern in the raster, then you just have to make the the background bounding box (nofill/nostroke) cut the pattern at an easy repeat.

My Offset filter not working in Cs6: Seamless pattern problems

Hi all.
Im trying to create a seamless pattern. using lots of layers.
Im going to filter/other/offset/, adding the vertical or horizontal dimensions for as 2953px (image size is 2953px x 2953px). and checking the ‘wrap around’ box.
But it’s not working & is cropping off loads of the layer, so not seamless at all.
I've tried with another layer and the same thing is happening.
I've 'revealed all' and shows nothing. I’ve tried to delete any transparent stray pixels around the layer I'm trying to wrap.
& I have also selected all & then cropped the image but it’s still happening.
I've googled till my hearts content but found no other idea on how to solve. Any ideas?
All my layers are from brushes I have created and used so lots of transparent textures. But that would be a problem if I have tried all of the above would it?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks. I have attached screen shot.
If you see on the top left and bottom left this is the "white flower copy" layer that I am trying to offset. This is a copy of the white flow with blue centre just to the left of the offset window.
You will see that the offset layer I want to wrap is missing the blue centre.

Seamless Pattern Issue

I created a really intricate seamless pattern filled with brush strokes.
I have 2 issues:
1) I have to print the patterns on a large format printer and the printer will not print them correctly unlesss I expand them. When I expand the pattern the details get lost, lines appear thicker and it changes the design. Any ideas on how to avoid this?
2) When I am trying to pull the swatch onto the artboard to change and edit it, I can't. Not sure why....
Thanks!!

1. Without seeing the patterns, it's hard to guess, but perhaps there is a way to simplify them. You say the pattern detail gets lost when expanding… could this be a screen issue? Have you tried rasterizing it?
2. When you attempt to edit the pattern, are you pulling the swatch out, over a raster image? Try dropping it in a blank area of the artboard.

Making a repeating/seamless pattern

I need to generate a repeating/seamless background from a logo. But I am having trouble doing it due to the complexity of the placement of the pattern. Wonder if anyone could shed some light on how to make this into a repeating pattern.
Example (I manually put this together)

Any input, links to resources or advice greatly appreciated.

There are helpful explanations in a blog post at http://blog.lynda.com/2011/04/26/dekes-techniques-17-creating-a-seamlessly-repeating-patte rn/ and even a movie from Deke McClelland:

Sorry but is this doesn't appear to be a question about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs and the topic of this forum. I'd suggest you post in the forum for the version of Mac OS X you're running.

Creating a seamless wireless network with 2 AExpress units

I have 2 Airport Express units in different parts of my house. I have struggled for YEARS trying to get them to create one seamless wireless network with the same name that I could float between. I have never been able to get that to work. anyone?
I know that some of the problems MAY have to do with the non-apple router settings, but I just have never gotten a clear response form anyone about weather it is doable, and/or worth doing. I would settle for 2 seperate wireless networks that didn't compete with each other and/or constantly need re-booting to stay active. I am generally the most tech savvy person I know and am consulted on IT by friends and colleageus regularly, but I just cannot figure this one out..
I am totally capable of setting this up, both in the router and the AE units, if someone can just tell me that;
1) yes it is possible and it will work, and
2) just set it up like this...

Thanks for the clarification. Check your AirPort Express devices one at a time, but other than different device names to avoid confusion.....AirPort Express 1, AirPort Express 2....for example, the settings should look this:
Open AirPort Utility , select one AirPort Express, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below th row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Your choice
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible) a good choice, but you can choose other combinations by holding down the option key on your Mac while you click on the selection box
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal an excellent choice if all of your devices are compatible with this setting
Wireless Password = Your wireless password
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings
Configure AirPort Express 2 exactly the same way and Update to save settings
Then, power down the entire network.....all devices....order is not important
Wait a moment, then start the modem/router first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Start each AirPort Express the same way
Start each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
Check for proper network operation
IF....you did not have your AirPort Express devices in Bridge Mode before.....that is the reason why you are having issues now and also is the reason why the "roaming" network was not working.....assuming that there was a reasonable overlap in wireless coverage between the 2 Express devices, of course.
If you want to try the "roaming" setup again, assign the exact same wireless network name, security and password to both Express devices and confirm again that both are setup in Bridge Mode as the very last step before you click the Update button in AirPort Utility.
Power down the entire network and start up in sequence as well as in the example above.

Creating a new pattern swatch

I'm working on a script that should, among other things, create a new pattern swatch from a groupItem in the document.
I managed to create the new pattern swatch and name it using:
myNewPatternSwatch = app.activeDocument.patterns.add();
myNewPatternSwatch.name = <the_swatch_name>;
The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my groupItem into the new pattern swatch.
Any idea?
Your help will be appreciated.

I don't think you can… Sorry it's not very helpful… Patterns were the sure way to crash a script too although I have not tried in CS5…

Pattern fills with seamless patterns

Hi,
I'm doing some shapes that have a seamless pattern fill & then I want to use the shapes with the sealess pattern fill in another seamless pattern. The only way i see I can do this is by expanding the artwork before dragging it into the swatch palatte. The files are so big illustrator is crashing or the file is near impossible to work with. I love the look of what i'm doing..but the files are too big. Any ideas on a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Jessica

You mean you are trying to make a pattern of objects that already have pattern fills?
I don´t think you can do that.
On the other hand you can easily select one tile of a pattern from an expanded pattern (double click on it with the direct selection tool), copy that and recolour artwork as you wish. Drag to palette for a new pattern.

Seamless pattern without borders

Hey guys!
I'd like to have a infinite seamless pattern without borders.
Explaining better:
this is a manually filled stone pattern:
then I've made it a pattern and fill, for example, a circle like this:
but I'd like to have the pattern inside the circle with the stones without borders.
Is it possible?
Thanks!!

Help creating this gradient pattern

I'm kinda stumped. Basically I need to create a gradient pattern going from inside (green) to outside (brown) with a small white and yellow step in between. The problem I am having is that I need to follow the pattern of the logo in the middle, but end up with a rectangle on the outside and it needs to be a fluid transition between the colors, kinda like this:
Any advice on how I can get what I am trying to achieve?
Using C3.

Userbak,
Blends like matching Anchor Points.
Presuming the logo pattern has 10 Anchor Points, namely 4 corner ones, 2 top/bottom ones, and 4 at the transition between circular and rectangular parts, you may add 3 matching Anchor Points to each of the horizontal sides of the rectangle, a) one in the middle and b) one on either side; you may move the b) Anchor Points to different (symmetrical) positions, maybe even to coincide with the corner Anchor Points. That may remove the choppiness as much as is possible.
To have one or more colours in between, you may create a stepwise blend with stroke/no fill paths, expand, and create the final blend from that.

How can I create a custom pattern halftone

Looking how to create a halftone pattern in a logo shape.
Instead of the typical circular pattern that is used I am looking to create a halftone pattern using a logo.
I don't know if this is possible thought I would ask and maybe someone knows how.

> Also the dot offset, was that just random, or was it done by eye?
What do you mean by "offset"? Are you talking about the rotation of the screen?
The only "benday screens" I'm familiar with are those that used to be applied to things like cartoons or other line drawings to create tints or suggest shading. They were nothing more than tint screens printed on an adhesive overlay sheet that was applied and cut with an Exacto knife. If memory serves, they weren't always dots. There were lines and hatches, and mezzotints in various densities, too.
> actually I'm not sure that's true, because one of the things that has always foxed me is that fine quality bendays seem to have a photographic dot screen involved...
What do you mean by "photographic dot screen"? All such pre-computer graphics films involved litho camera photography in their manufacturing process. If by "photographic dot screen" you mean a subtle fuzziness or irregularity, that may be due to the manufacturing process (did you know that Zipatone lettering sheets were screen printed?) or the repro process (acutal dot gain and spreading in the printing).

Creating multiple translation patterns CUCM 8.5

Good day all,
I need to assign an employee a DID number. The problem is that he is in another state and I've only been able to ascertain that our translation pattern is setup for our state and area code. So how would I go about setting up a translation pattern for his area code? Would I need to create another dial peer?
Example:
Our translation pattern is 972934XXXX
I need one that is 770XXXXXXX
Any help would be appreciated.
Tariq

Hi Tariq.
Is that employee's phone registered on the same cluster?
Is your provider passing 770XXXXXXX DID to your VG?
If yes, you can create a translation pattern on CUCM translating the DID with different area code into desired extensions.
Please let me know
Regards

In need of a Seamless Pattern expert

When I'm creating patterns I can see thin lines showing the bounding box...is this going to print? If so how do I get rid of those lines to make the art seamless??

To ensure it's just the screen redraw issue, zoom in.. if the lines vanish or never increase in size, it is indeed all on-screen and not really present in the art -- so they won't print.

Making a seamless pattern?

I'm working on a builder wrap design that includes an architectural rendering of a home plan, which is an EPS. The size will be 29" high x 60" wide and the design will repeat every 60". This may not even be possible, but is there anyway to create an illusion that the background is seamless or would that be too difficult to pull off without a major reworking of the artwork?

kcrossley,

How to create fan-out pattern solution in alsb (osb)

Hello guys,
I'm trying to create a fan-out pattern solution in ALSB in which I have one proxy service for incoming messages and two outbound business services. All messages are to be forwarded to both business services simultaneous but independent from each other, so whenever business service 1 fails messages are still delivered to business service 2. Like in the following situation:
messages ---> proxy service ---> routing table:
                                   all messages ----> business service 1
                                   all messages ----> business service 2However, when I am trying to use the routing table to define the routing, I am not able to route messages to both business services. In the ALSB console I am obliged to define an IF..THEN..ELSE routing rules. IF condition THEN call BS1 ELSE call BS2.
Can anyone give me a hint how to solve this problem, pls?
Thanks in advance,
Harm

Thanks for the swift reply.
Can you please elaborate on the expression to use in solution 1? My first solution was similar except I used a routing table without a pipe line instead of a publish table. The cases in the publish table look similar to the cases in a routing table. The difficulty I'm having is that I don't have/want(?) to switch between cases in order to choose the end-point as all end-points must be invoked in each case.
This is the expression I'm using in the routing/publish table:
Publish Table ( boolean($body/mynamespace:myrootnode) )
   Case = true()
   Publish to BS1 invoking operation bladibla
   Case = true()
   Publish to BS2 invoking operation tralalaIn words, if the incoming message has a body then route to BS1 and BS2. But this "solution" only invokes BS1, never BS2.
For the second solution, suppose the first service callout hits an error (time-out, remote server down, network failure, etc), is the second service callout still being invoked succesfully or does the whole pipe line stack fail?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harm
