Filling an object with a pattern without distortion?

I have this camo pattern:
wich already tiles seemlessy but when i turn it into a swatch it won't tile. it distorts the pattern and blows it up instead of using it as is and tiling:
what is the problem here? can i scale it in some option menu? can i control the orientation? im creating a vector based logo, is this the right way to go about filling the object with this pattern?
i want it to be scaled and tiled. what is the best way to go about it? what would u do? thanks in advance

yup i thought so. it HAS to be vector based.
it does not have to be vector, it can be jpeg or gif, but it has to be embedded...as for not using it in a logo, Scott can explain that.
255x247 px
the object is any size as its a vector. How are u filling yours? photoshop then a clipping mask?
I meant the size of the camo image in relation to your vector object, not the actual size in pixels.
in this sample I grabbed a GIF, embedded it, dragged it to the swatches palette, sent the image to back, then filled both the small object and the big object with the gif-embedded swatch, just to illustrate what happens with the size position.

How to fill an object with another object

I have created this watercolor blob shape with the help of a tutorial and I was wondering if it would be possible to use that watercolor blob to fill a shape (let's say a circle). How can I go about doing that? I've attempted using the make pattern function in order to create a fill pattern that way, but it's just not working out for me. Are there any other ways? Any help would be really appreciated!

You are welcome, Amanda.
Cross posting, I was working on this addition:
If you wish to give the top shape a stroke, you may:
3) Click its bounding path with the Direct Selection Tool;
4) Click the Stroke box and the Color box at the bottom of the Toolbox and apply the colour (you can do that through the Color palette).

Cut an object with the knife without adding new segment?

If I use the knife to cut across a closed object, it creates two closed objects. What I would LIKE is to cut the object and have two open objects touching at the points of the cut. E.g., if I cut a square in half, I want two brackets touching at their ends. Obviously, I can go in and delete the added extraneous segments, but it adds extra steps. Thus far, I have not found any way to turn that off, or to toggle it, or anything. I DID do a search in the Adobe support help files and couldn't find anything -- which probably means that every article that mentions the knife has that exact info in billposter type right at the top of the article ; it's the way these things usually run with me...! <ruefulGrin>
Am I missing something simple?
(For the sake of completeness, I'm using Illustrator CC 2014.0.0 on OS X Mavericks.)

Thanks, Jacob. That certainly will work; unfortunately, it's just not as quick and precise as Option-dragging the knife to get a straight cut across an object or, more importantly, across multiple objects.
Ah, well -- when they finally replaced my old G5 at work last year, I knew it was going to mean giving up Freehand and learning the Adobe way of doing things. After predominantly doing illustrations in Freehand since the Aldus days, though -- somewhere around 25 years ago, now -- it's difficult having to learn a whole new set of reflexes!

Perspective object with a pattern

Hi, I am using the perspective grid to make a 3d looking building. I want to use a brick pattern for the sides of the building. I am having trouble makeing this look right when the perspective is skewed a lot (see right brick wall), the left brick wall isn't too bad. I used an envelope mesh 1 2 rows and 1 column. Is this the only way to preserve pattern when skeweing an object?

IdeaJoyHnC.
Why don’t you create a wall 2d first, near to the size you need it to be, then group, copy and paste into the grid, see example below.

How to use a scaled object(MC) to fill the background with the new properties

So lets say i have a stage 300 to 200 and all object that i have are for this dimensions.Also have an pattern function that fills the background.
But the user is thinking of resizing the stage to lets say 1024 to 480 (he switched from a phone to a tablet).And now the scale of the objects in the tablet screen are more than 3times before(when seen on the Phone)
How do i save the current new size object and use it in the creation of the new background (the 1024x480).
currently i have this :
public static const GAME_ORG_WIDTH:uint = 300;
public static const GAME_ORG_HEIGHT:uint = 200;
public function MainClass_road() {
                              addEventListener(Event.ADDED, init);
                    public function init(e:Event):void{
                               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                                 stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                                 stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                    public function setUpScreen(ev:Event):void{
                              stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                              if(stage.fullScreenHeight > stage.fullScreenWidth){
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenWidth;
                            gameStageHeight = stage.fullScreenHeight;
                              }else {
                                        gameStageWidth = stage.fullScreenHeight;       // 480
                                        gameStageHeight = stage.fullScreenWidth;                     //1024
                              rescaleRatio = gameStageWidth / GAME_ORG_WIDTH;
                              //rescale every object, ie:
                            myC.scaleX = myC.scaleY =   rescaleRatio;
                   //start filling the Background with the pattern
                                   tileBgF();
and then I use the while loop for filling the screen/background
public function tileBgF(e:Event=null):void {
                                                  var bgClip = MyC;
                                                  var i:int = 0;
                                                  var j:int = 0;
                                                  while (bgClip.x < stage.stageWidth) {
                                                            bgClip = MyC;
                                                            while (bgClip.y < stage.stageHeight) {
                                                                      bgClip = MyC;
                                                                      tileLayer.addChild(bgClip);
                                                                      bgClip.x = bgClip.width * i;
                                                                      bgClip.y = bgClip.height * j;
                                                                      j++;
                                                            j = 0;
                                                            i++;
                                                  addChildAt(tileLayer,0);
why does it give me
Line 52
1120: Access of undefined property MyC.
in public function tileBgF
and further more.After filling the background/screen with the pattern , how do i save it all like one big bitMap so i can use /add it after time without doing all the checking of screen and things again.

and is it better to use
stage.fullScreenHeight
in the while loop or leave it like it is ,or its irrelevant

Problem filling in an object with colour!

Hi, if anyone can help me with this problem i would be most
grateful, it is probably something simple but i cant seem to get
around it.
I have created one image by joining together a few vector
shapes (i.e. using the line tool and bending certain lines to
create a desired pattern). Now that i have done this i wanted to
fill the image with a colour but i am unable to do so. I have
grouped the lines together to create one image but it fails to fill
in the whole object but only fills certain parts on the outside and
not the inside of the image :-/
It is hard to put into words but hopefully somebody knows
what i am talking about,
Dan Sargent

Dan,
It would be a lot easier to understand if you uploaded the
image somewhere
so we could see it. Preferably the FWs png

How can I replace a color with a pattern fill?

Hi everyone, thanks for any responses in advance!
I've created quite a detailed design that works with 4 pixels per cm and 16 colors, canvas size 120x170cm. I'm wanting to replace all of a single color with a pattern, is there a way to do this?
I can replace a color with another flat color by using adjustments etc... but I want to fill the entire of one color area with a pattern instead. The only way I can think to do this would be to use the magic wand tool to select every pixel of the same color, then create a new layer and overlay with a fill of the desired pattern, however as the design is so detailed it would take me an awful long time to select each color!
Can anyone suggest a quicker more efficiant way to do this?
Thanks!

CS3: Make mask using group with strokes, fills, multiple objects,etc

I am currently using CS3, and I have created 2 objects with gradient clipping masks on them, to go over a group (my logo). I am hoping to create a glass effect with these gradients over my logo.
The problem I am running into is that I cannot use my logo as a group to mask the gradient objects. I have attempted joining, combining, etc my logo group and making it a mask, but there are strokes inside that then mask as the fill shape.
Is there a way to mask, not unlike the clipping mask tool that is so easily used in Photoshop CS3?

Is this any help?
To clarify this is what I want to achieve:
So that all the grey area is transparent.

Filling Text art with gradient or pattern

Hello all,
I'm trying to fill some existing arts (path, text, compound) with a just created gradient or a pattern loaded in the swatch
To achieve that I'm trying to change the path style:
GetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
     pathArtStyle.strokePaint = false;
     pathArtStyle.fillPaint = true;
     pathArtStyle.fill.color.kind = kGradient;
     pathArtStyle.fill.color.c.b.gradient = myGradient;
SetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
This works for kPathArt,
but nothing happens for kTextFrameArt or kCompoundPathArt.
How can I program this ?
thanks in advance
PS: I also tried to program the procedure "How to Fill Text with a Pattern or Gradient in Adobe Illustrator" described for illustrator UI, w/o success
PS: I have similar problem when trying to create a clipping using SetGroupClipped() (see AI function reference) while the clipping path is a text or compound. No clipping is done.

To fill text with a gradient or pattern youi can do two things, either
1) outline your text (Type > Create Outlines) then click on the pattern or gradient swatch you require. For easier control of gradients it is best to make a compound path of all the letters. This method is not editable because the type is no longer live.
2) If your type needs to be live do the following: Type your text and colour it None (no fill, no stroke). Then Appearance panel flyout menu; Add New Fill and click on your swatch.

How to fill an object made with line segment?

I made some objects with the line segment tool, but i cant seem to fill them. Not even when i group the lines and try to fill after.
Anybody an idea? thanks

Live paint will do the trick you select the lines and click on the live paint bucket tool which will make the lines a part of live paint group, there are options for controlling the gap distance.
Then select a color and click the live paint tool somewhere in the area that the lines are used to define. it will fill with that color.n CS 2 and 3 I think well CS3 for sure.

How to move an object with its animation path, without adding a new keyframe?

Hi,
If I create an object which has a keyframe animation, how can I change its location/scale without adding new keyframes? That is, I want to move the whole thing with all its animations & keyframes as a single entity.
thanks
Arun

Hi,
big thanks for that. Unless Im doing something stupid when I did that it made a new copy of the object but did allow me to place that new instance elsewhere.
Is there any way just to move an object and its path without making a new copy?
All the best
Arun

Why r we allowed to create String objects with & without using new operator

While creating any object, usage of the new operator is a must...but only for the string object we can create it with and also without new operator how is it possible to create an object without using new operator.

Because Mr. (Dr.?) Gosling is a kindly soul who realizes that programmers have deadlines and, when he designed Java, was not so rigid or unbending as not to realize that from time to time, certain shortcuts are warranted, even in a relatively pure language such as Java. The direct String literal assignments are a shortcut over using the new operator making Java programming (and execution; there's also a performance benefit) more streamlined.
So look not the gift horse in the mouth, but simply bask in the simplification and ease on the eyes and directly assign your little literals to your heart's content.

Fill shape with a pattern

Hi,
I am drawing some shapes using java.awt.Shape, java.awt.geom.Area and java.awt.geom.GeneralPath and would like to know whether it's possible to fill these closed shapes with a color - or even better - with a pattern.
Thanks!

er, yes, why not?
