Hello all, I cant find ""Object > Repeat > Options."" on illustrator 2020. could you please let me know how to fix it ?

I'd like to be able to EXPAND the objects in the end. For example, if I make a logo, that is based on a reflective image. I need to be able to expand it to have it as an asset to hand over to clients. Without Expand option, this is still a toy, not a professional tool.

Hi,

I'm trying the new beta version.

It looks like the repeat Mirror is still cliping the illustration to the axis symetry, and crop all is going through.
It would be useful to have the possibility to deactivate the clipping path, in order to allow the illustration going over the symetry, like it is the case for repeat rotation.

It's an interesting feature.
I didn't understand if the user can change the type of repeatition after applying one.
From the UI it seems that the user can access the option of a repeated element and change the type but it didn't work for me.

25.0 Build 68.

Repeat>Symmetry needs simplifying and needs to be accessible from somewhere more convenient than an Objects sub-menu.

After creating a mirror image of an object, it's far too long-winded a process to release the mirror image and be able to select it with the pointer tool. Why does it force the user into Isolation Mode? This should be a very simple task but the current workflow makes it far too complex. It needs a structural rethink, in my opinion. It's not at all ready for release (although I'm sure it will be released whether it's ready or not).

2021 beta, 25.0.1.68.

1. I can only apply Repeat to artwork, not to a layer. I love being able to just freely draw stuff on a layer and have whatever effects I've applied to it Just Happen. Going into an isolation group is a ton of hassle compared to just selecting a layer.
2. Repeat does not show up in the Appearance palette. IMHO it should, it is basically plopping a new UI on top of a bunch of stuff done with the Transform tool.
3. Since Repeat's not an Appearance item, it can't be a graphic style. Styles are VERY USEFUL and as I move into bigger, longer projects they have become core to how I approach Illustrator. Y'all keep ignoring this, the Freeform Gradients do not *exist* in my practice because they can't get saved as Styles.
4. no window>repeat? Just a couple of controls in the Properties palette (which is always off for me)
5. It'd be pretty nice to have an option to visually clip the repeated art to hide anything outside of a segment of the canvas based on the repetition settings, have a look at Astute's MirrorMe for an example. (Mirror repeats do this, I see.)
6. Selecting a repeat group and trying to change the repeat type in object>repeat>options does nothing.
7. Having on-canvas controls for these things is nice, though I can't get them to show up reliably when re-selecting an object. They only seem to come up if I am in the Selection tool (not the Direct Selection tool) and specifically select the repeat object?
8. oh man if I make a tile repeat and then accidentally rotate the whole thing with the Free Transform tool while trying to get the on-canvas controls to show up, it expands the whole thing into a giant mess

On a higher level: Maybe the repeat controls should be in the Free Transform tool? It was designed to unify all the transformation tools that existed at the time and there's something about these that feel like they belong with it.

I dunno, as is I can't see it replacing Transform effects (whether applied manually or via Astute's Stylism) or Astute's MirrorMe for me.

I feel like I could also make a case for this being something that should be folded into Window>Pattern Options? Upgrade that to do reflections, rotations, maybe even glides and whatever other cool stuff is hidden behind paying $500 for SymmetryWorks...

Doesn't work properly as of 24.3.1 Build 60.

How do I expand the result so I can change individual elements? Is there such an option?
Thanks.

For any reason it's not possible to snap the symmetry axis to any point of the path...
