In an early build of the beta/alpha there was the ability to see what objects were in the repeat patterns and it made it easy to drag and drop new things into the pattern without having to use the selection workaround.

I would like to be able to open up the pattern in a focus mode of sorts where you could create new objects in the pattern and copy and paste other things into that group.

Need to be able to set the center point when using radial repeat tool, same with mirror. And of course the ability to set guides.

Other apps able to live draw with symmetry but why Ai unable to continuous drawn smoothly. I hate to set each objects and flip by Mirror. Please do it better.

I am a fashion designer and being able to use and make print and fabric swatches from images are essential features I use everyday. Other than that, we do need more shortcuts. I am still 100x quicker on Illustrator pc, as I know all my shortcuts which I can’t leave without. Ai on IPad still doesn’t live up to a standard which I can see myself using daily. Which is a shame, I would love to sketch while sitting on my sofa...

Add control to alter position of repeats with some controllable of random position shift for each repeated element, controls for x,y and or radius and rotation.

Need to be able to make a swatch from grid repeat to use on spoonflower, etc.

I really need to copy objects and paste them with same distance multiple time times as i do with command+D on desktop version
