Using an Image for a Replicator Shape
The following section describes how to use an image as the source for a replicator
pattern.

To use an image for a replicator shape:

1

Import the image you want to use as the pattern source into your project.

2

In the Replicator tab, choose Image from the Shape pop-up menu.

The Image Source well appears in the Inspector and Dashboard.

3

From the Layers tab, drag the image to the Image Source well.

4

When the pointer becomes a curved arrow, release the mouse button.

A thumbnail of the image appears in the well and the image is used as the source
shape for the replicator.

Note: You may want to disable the source image in the Layers tab so it is not visible in
your project.
