There’s an issue with Pattern Making in versions 30.6 and 29.8. When I go to Object > Pattern > Make, Illustrator displays the message: "Can't define a new pattern from the current art." This was not an issue in earlier versions.
As a workaround, I have to save the artwork as an image, place it back into Illustrator, drag and drop it onto the artboard, ungroup it, and only then am I able to create a pattern. This makes the pattern creation process much more difficult and time-consuming than it used to be.
