elka Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Could anyone explain me pls what is the fastest way to draw this pattern. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The first, seventh and thirteenth rows are the same. The pattern repeats on each row, except that it shifts to the left one column. Draw the first row using copy and mirror commands. Then copy the whole first row down. Shift it one to the column to the left, move the rhombus that is now left of the first one in the first row over to the empty spot on the right hand side. Repeat this process till you have 6 rows. Then you can copy the whole thing down twice, and you'll have it. See the diagram below. Don't know if that's the fastest way or not, but that's how I'd do it.

ReMark Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Reproduce just enough of the pattern to where it starts to repeat then take a look at the Super Hatch command in Express Tools under Draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody could have done it that way! I use superhatch about once a year whether I need to or not...completely forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm in slacker-mode today Jack. I was looking for the fastest way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
