Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 779
Using the Replicator Onscreen Controls
In addition to using the Position parameters in the Properties tab or the Select/
Transform tool to move the replicator in the Canvas, you can also use the Adjust Item
tool. This section provides two examples of using the Adjust Item tool to modify a
replicator using the onscreen controls.
To use the Adjust Item tool:
1 Select the replicator you want to adjust.
2 In the Toolbar, click and hold the Select/Transform tool, then choose the Adjust Item
tool from the tool options.
Once the Adjust Item tool is selected, the replicator onscreen controls appear. Dragging
the pattern’s shape adjusts the size of the replicator shape. For example, if the shape is
a spiral or circle, dragging the shape changes the Radius parameter value. Dragging in
the Canvas (not directly on the shape) repositions the replicator in the Canvas.

replicator shape line, the line is
highlighted. Dragging the
shape resizes the replicator.
Dragging outside the
replicator shape
repositions the
replicator.
