Duplicate Pattern with Shape

You make the following settings in the Duplicate Pattern with Shape dialog box:

Pattern Name

The name of the selected pattern appears greyed out.

Enter the new pattern name in the black edit box.

Do you want copies of the shapes to be generated as well?

If the checkbox is activated, then the shapes of the pattern are also duplicated.
Under the checkbox you are able to enter the new shape name.

If the checkbox is not activated, then the shapes are not duplicated.
The specifications for the shape name are hidden.

This option does not appear, if a pattern is duplicated without shape.

Shape Name

Up to two shapes can be positioned on a pattern.
For every positioned shape appears the following specification:

  • The shape name of the selected pattern appears greyed out.
  • Beside the greyed out name specification, enter the new shape name in the black edit box.
  • By clicking on the checkbox, you select the shapes that are to be duplicated.

After confirmation of the entries, the pattern and the shapes appear under the corresponding original files.
