Video: 3 Top Adobe Illustrator CC Actions for Repeat Pattern Design. Saves so much time!

In this live video, I am going to talk about my 3 favorite Adobe Illustrator CC Actions for creating vector Repeat Pattern Designs which have saved me so much time over the years! If I put all of that time saved together, I could probably go on a long, exotic vacation somewhere. Wouldn’t that be nice! 🙂

I’m a big fan of Adobe Illustrator CC actions as you can create them super fast and then enjoy using them every day and save time and effort in your work process designing vector repeat patterns.

So here are my 3 favorites:

Action (set) 1: Up – Down – Left – Right
Helps to position repeat pattern elements on your artboard quickly and effortlessly.

Action (set) 2: 10% Bigger and 10% smaller
Very helpful for scaling multiple pattern elements at the same time.

Action 3: Test Pattern Swatch
Useful to test the trimmed swatch you created to see if it works properly.

My tips on using actions:

TIP 1
Learn how to use keyboard shortcuts to start actions to save even more time.

TIP 2
You can later use these shortcuts to create actions which include some of your existing actions.

TIP 3
Always save your actions in a batch so that you can use them again next time you restart your Adobe Illustrator CC or if you have to upgrade Adobe Illustrator versions in the future.
