Why does my pattern have weird gaps or lines?

This usually means your tile edges aren’t aligning properly. Check your object placement and snapping settings to avoid accidental overlaps or misalignments.

How can I save my patterns to use in other documents?

To export your pattern swatches save them in a .ai template file or use Window > Swatch Libraries > Save Swatches.

Can I make a pattern from a raster image?

Yes, but remember — it won’t be a true vector pattern. Vector elements are best for scaling and editing.

Why is the Pattern Maker tool greyed out or not working?

This happens if no artwork is selected. Make sure your objects are selected before choosing Object > Pattern > Make.
