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.

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.

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 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!!
Ben.

Pattern brush would need some work. I also tried a scatter brush, which could also be worth trying: Left: scatter brush; right: pattern brush

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.

NumberFormat pattern issue

Hi,
I have to format the number in "##,##,##,###" pattern. I have coded the following code to apply the pattern. Bellow code giving the output as 123,456,789
As per the applied format output should be 12,34,56,789.
Please help me to resolve the issue.
        NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
        DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
        df.applyPattern("##,##,##,###");
        String output = df.format(123456789);

There's no "workaround" because this is not a bug. There's nothing that needs to be worked around. It's simply a problem you wish to solve that doesn't have a direct solution already implemented in the core API. So you write a method that implements the same logic you'd use to do it by hand, just like you would for any other such problem.

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)
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/944/bgrdlogorepeat.jpg
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:

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,

Route Pattern issue

I am running Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 8.6 and I am trying to add a route pattern that I can not get to work. I am copying an existing route pattern that works and only changing the prefix. i.e. 9.331XXXX copied and changed to 9.551XXXX. Both are in the same route list and group and I have verified that the new prefix is a local prefix. When dialing the 551 number it is telling me you need to dial a 1 first. Dialing 9.1551XXXX gets the message that says "your call can not be completed as dialed. please consult your directory.......". If you dial it as 9-1-area code-551XXXX it still tells you that you need to dial a 1 before dialing the number.
Not sure what I am missing but any suggestions would be much appreciated.
John

The only message that comes from CUCM is the "your call cannot be completed as dialed..." all of the other messages come from your telco, you would need to ask them exactly what digits they're expecting to accept the call as valid.
Did you change the RP to be 9.1551XXXX or did you simply tried to dial with 9.551XXXX configured?????
I'm guessing the latter as you got the "your call cannot be completed as dialed..." message from CUCM

BPM :: n To 1 Collected Payload Pattern issue

Hi
I am working on following scenario -->
Web Page --> HTTP Adapter --> XI with BPM ( Using n To 1 Payload Pattern ) --> RFC Adapter --> SAP R/3 --> XI With BPM --> File Adapter --> Legacy System with Response from RFC
Now everything is configured & when first time I executed the scenario it gives me " Green Flag " under Outbound Status for interface from Web Page to XI. Also date format error in next 2 messages. So I corrected the date format & execute it again.
But since from than I am getting " <b>Red Flag</b> " ( <i>Message has error status on outbound side</i> ) under Outbound status. I checked my BPM under MONI also & all the mapping & configuration is fine. Even I made the Overall messages as 1 but still getting the same error.
I am able to see the correlation ID of message also.
Pls. suggest.

Hi
My Scenario is working now & I am able to correlate the payloads on Vendor Name. But I need to clarify the concept of n:1 Pattern.
In my multi-mapping occurence of source message is 0 to N & Target message is 1. Now when I am sending the message in this format ( coming from web page when i am clicking the SUBMIT button two times ) :

            <DELIVERYDATE/>
         </Items_Schedule>
      </p3:PurOrder_Request_MT>
As in target they are coming as two different payloads & I am calling the RFC one time only. RFC is taking the data of first payload only. Right now my scenario is working more as creating a batch of payloads who has same Vendor Name. But my RFC doesn't take batch of payloads.
Can you pls. explain what exactly the n:1 pattern means.
Best regards

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.

Pattern issue

Hello, I have a problem to unlock my Sony xperia z3 compact.
I set-up a pattern but once I try to unlock the phone, the patters is not accepted and I can not unlock the phone. Also I am not receiving forrgoten pattern option, Just 30 second waiting for new attempt.
The phone is updated to android 5.0.
Can you please advise how can I proceed to unlock the phone ?
Thank you very much.

If the above does not apply,you may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Command Pattern Issue

Hello.
I started learning about command pattern and so I tried taking the data I learned and applying it to what I have been doing. I put together an image gallery using command pattern but the images are not appearing on the stage and I can't figure out why. There are no errors a trace I put in is showing up.
Been going over all my files for a while now and I have not been able to figure out what I have done wrong. : (
Is someone out there who is familiar with this - possibly you! - that would be willing to look at my structure and maybe you could spot what I am doing wrong?
I would post the code here but the structure contains 9 files (most of which are very small) and I dont know which file to post.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Maruthee.
The simple answer is that Contexts remain in the cluster after Commands have been executed. They are not removed.
Hope this helps.

"State" Design Pattern Issues

I am implementing a class that requires state information. I decided to follow the design pattern, and I found a great site for reference (which provided the code below) but I need to implement substates. It would be impractical to store all of the states in the fashion below. I am trying to find a way to somehow store another substate in the class below without creating so many classes. I am thinking about creating the substates the classic way with just constants, but I cant store the current substate in the static final States. In short, either using the code below or not, how do I implement a system with states and substates following the State Design Pattern?
abstract class State {
    static State initialState;
    static final State state1 = new State1();
    static final State state2 = new State2();
    protected State() {
      if (initialState == null) initialState = this;
    abstract void stateExit(StateOwner owner);
    abstract void stateEnter(StateOwner owner);
class State1 extends State {
    void stateExit(StateOwner owner) {
    void stateEnter(StateOwner owner) {
class State2 extends State {
    void stateExit(StateOwner owner) {
    void stateEnter(StateOwner owner) {
}

This isn't exactly an implementation of the state pattern.
I suggest that you check out the GOF book for details but here are some suggestions:
1) Your abstract State should not contain State objects but should provide the interface for your State behavior.
2) Each substate that you describe is actually an individual State and should be a concrete implementation of the State class or interface.
3) There are several ways to handle state transitions but one that I like is to have the concrete States know about when to make state transitions and provide a call back mechanism to the context that has the handle to the state to allow the state to set the new state in the context when a state transition occurs.
For example
abstract class State
    abstract void stateExit(StateOwner owner);
    abstract void stateEnter(StateOwner owner);
class State1 extends State {
    void stateExit(StateOwner owner) {
        owner.setState(new State2().stateEnter(owner));
    void stateEnter(StateOwner owner) {
class State2 extends State {
   void stateExit(StateOwner owner) {
    void stateEnter(StateOwner owner) {
public class StateOwner
    State s;
    public StateOwner()
        s = new State1(this);
        s.stateEnter(this);
    public void setState(State s)
        this.s = s;
}This is how I've implemented it and in general how it is done in GOF.
Hope this helps.

Issues with pattern fill in ps 6. Why is it making each tile a different color?

HELP!!! I've used the Fill>Pattern to tile my seamless patterns tons of times and never had this issue. Suddenly , it started making each tile on the large canvas a different color when I apply Fill>Pattern. At first I thought it was a tip or guide to see the repeat edges , but it shows up in print preview too. What did I do and how do I correct it?

Is this photoshop 6 or photoshop cs6?
If it's cs6, check that you aren't using scripted patterns for the pattern fill.
Also, check the blending mode and opacity in the fill dialog.
