The Replicator

The replicator pattern can be resized by dragging the corners or edges of the replicator
bounding box.

Resizing the Pattern and Scaling the Objects

Resize the pattern to cover more of the Canvas. When the pattern is resized, it changes
shape symmetrically, in a manner related to its shape. With the default Rectangle
shape, dragging any of its edges resizes the pattern with mirror symmetry along one
axis. Dragging from a corner resizes the pattern with mirror symmetry along both axes.

To resize the replicator:

m

Drag one of the corner handles toward the edge of the Canvas, until the pattern more
than fills the Canvas.

By default, the replicator pattern is five columns by five rows. Now, change the Scale
End of the replicator, so the objects get smaller at the edges of the pattern.
