Advanced Replicator Controls
When a replicator is created from a source layer, the default replicator parameters are
used, resulting in a rectangular pattern consisting of five rows and five columns of
elements. Although the HUD provides a fast way to modify the basic replicator parameters,
the Replicator tab in the Inspector gives you total control over every aspect of that pattern.
This includes individual parameters for the replicator cell (for replicators with a single
cell).
To open the Replicator tab
1 Select a replicator.
2 In the Inspector, click the Replicator tab.
The replicator parameters appear.
The contents of the Replicator tab are dynamic, and different parameters appear
depending on the option you choose in the Shape pop-up menu. Also, different
parameters appear depending on the option you choose in the Arrangement pop-up
menu.
The Difference Between Replicator and Replicator Cell Parameters
The replicator and replicator cell parameters, though closely related, serve different
purposes. Replicator parameters control the overall shape, arrangement, offset, stacking
order, build order, and number of elements in the replicator pattern.
Replicator cell parameters control the behavior and appearance of the elements within
the replicator pattern. For more information, see
Displaying Replicator Cell Parameters .
