Pattern creation can be done by Object > Pattern > Make or by what other action?

• A. Object > Pattern > Create
• B. Object > Pattern > Make or drag & drop into the swatches panel
• C. Use the Pattern Tile Tool
• D. Drag the artwork into the Swatches panel to create a pattern

Answer: (B)

Pattern creation in Illustrator can be done by using the Pattern command, which opens the Pattern Options dialog to define how the tile repeats. The other quick method is to drag the artwork into the Swatches panel, which instantly creates a pattern swatch from what you dropped. This gives you a ready-to-use repeating tile right away—just apply that swatch to any object’s fill or stroke. If you later want to tweak the repeat, you can double-click the swatch to enter Pattern editing mode and adjust the tile, spacing, and other options (the Pattern Tile Tool is used here to refine the pattern after it’s been created).
