Each cell has its own Replicator Cell tab that contains all parameters for that cell. To access
the cell-specific parameters, you must select a cell in the Layers tab or Timeline layers list.
Replicator Cell tab in Inspector Cell selected in Layers tab
Replicator Controls in the Inspector
The controls in the Replicator tab give you complete control over every aspect of the
pattern created by the selected replicator. This includes the shape upon which the pattern
is built and the shape’s related parameters, such as the size of the pattern, how the
elements are arranged in the pattern, and so on.
Shape: The first parameter in the Replicator tab is the Shape pop-up menu, which sets
the overall shape of the onscreen replicator pattern. The default setting is Rectangle.
Choose any of up to 10 shape styles from the menu to alter the distribution of the pattern
elements.
Note: Depending on the item you choose in the Shape pop-up menu, additional controls
may appear in the Replicator tab. For example, when Rectangle is selected in the Shape
pop-up menu, the Outline, Tile Fill, and Random Fill options become available in the
Arrangement pop-up menu. These additional controls let you further customize the
chosen shape.
