    pattern repeat problem

    pattern_bobster Community Member

      Hello community!

      I have a problem with a pattern / pattern origin. matter of a fact i have had this problem numerous times:

       

      i create a pattern. the pattern looks good, everything cool. i switch back to my actual artboard/layer/drawing surface. I create a box and fill it with the pattern, let's say in the middle of the artboard. all of a sudden the pattern originates in the middle, on the side or i don't know where... and for whatever reason i can not give it the origin that i want..?! how can i set a point of origin for the pattern without having to transform it into a path or of the kind?

      If the patten was really bad i took it and shoved it into an InDesign document, placed it as needed and printed it that way.

      But there has to be an easier way?

       

      Waiting for help,

      Thanks!

       

      i have added these shots for orientation.

      the white part at the bottom was taken from the top and shoved in at the end of the pattern repeat o_O

      (the right image is as it should be and how it looked like in the pattern creating tool; the left image is how the pattern came out)
