Yes, yes, yes please this would be an absolute game changer for me and other surface pattern designers. Fingers crossed you are looking to add this feature soon.

"Subsequent changes larger than the drawing area by entering numbers"

This would be absolutely amazing - affinity designer has this feature already and I’m dying for this to be part of the illustrator for iPad features - it would be incredible to create patterns on the go and not be tied to my Mac

I would also prefer this tool to work like it does on the desktop. It’s fine for simple patterns but when I try and move icons within the pattern the bounding box moves and shifts the entire pattern. I can’t fill holes within the pattern. Adobe Capture just added a free form function to its pattern tool. That’s what Ai on the iPad needs.

Please add this! Surface pattern designers seeking to work on the iPad must use other apps to create repeat pattern tiles, and it would be great to have the option to use Illustrator.

Agreed!

Based on the comment, changing title to Pattern tool.

Agreed! This would be such an excellent feature. Currently having to use work arounds or different vector apps entirely.

Repeat isn’t already better?

And also, to save a print as swatch for further making a print

It would be great to be able to offset a group of elements a specific amount using the repeat function to create a seamless repeat pattern. It works fine for single elements but for multiple elements it is a very slow process to work out the correct measurements. I have attached a file to explain a little better.

I would like the transform tool to work like the Ilustrator desktop version. That would help greatly when making repeat seamless patterns.

This would be an absolute game changer please!!!

How is this done on the online version...!

Yes we need a pattern tool like the desktop version!

Totally! I was hopping this too! Like Affinity Designer!

I had such high hope for this. It is what I was most exited about, not having to swap to desktop illustrator for patternmaking... so yes!

I agree, it will be a life changer! Tried a lot off Apps to do repeat patterns, but none is like AI desktop. If we could have this in AI app it will be awesome!

Yes! Just an option to simply drag an item to the edge of the canvas/artboard and it automatically adding the overhang to the other side, so you can make seamless patterns.
I make a lot of patterns to be used on clothing and such and there is no easy way to make this on the iPad, all programmes only offer complicated work arounds.
This would be a life changer!

Be able to make repeat patterns grid, and half drop in the same way that you make it in AI desktop
