Apply a pattern to a shape without the shape cutting off the edges of the pattern?

Boldline

@Subpath thanks for the ideas and suggestions. I will try them out. I know I can find workarounds to get what I want and that will get me through for now. I'm hoping an option can be added in VS that allows for this like an internal command option to not cut off any part of the pattern that somehow touches a selected shape, etc.

@Boldline It is doable with Repeaters. Still a bit slow, but it can be expanded once all attributes are set:

@vectoradmin Interesting! But I would disable font preview on the canvas with this — it froze the app here and I had to force-quit.

Same here.

@Boldline Personally, I can see a lot of uses of Pixelate effects for images. It would be great if they had vector equivalents.
I used to play with these functions for a while. You can apply an effect and then try tracing. Unfortunately, I can't set up the tracing well in VS but I used then AI for tracing and the effect was pretty good.

@b77 Any specific steps on how to replicate the freeze?

@vectoradmin Trying to change the font of the object at the bottom works the first or second time, then the app can freeze. I replicated the freeze but now when trying to record the screen it didn't freeze, but you can see that I have to wait for the app to catch up: https://recordit.co/QMbNX0ZOYW

Yes, this one is very slow currently. I will try to find a way to make it faster.

Like the repeater.

Could not resist
Have use the File from vectoradmin.

To make this picture, i had to combine
three VS-Files for the Text.

But that the text remains editable, even
with this pattern on it, leaves me
speechless!

The Picture was build from
three Bitmap Files.
