Easy Tutorial - How to use a Letter for Pattern creation

[Subpath]

Hi all

Here is a easy way how to create interesting patterns,
It's an old trick, but it can still be useful.

you could:

• Change the original Letter in a another one

• Use a different Font, e.g. Script Fonts give nice Patterns

• Try a Symbol Font

• Convert the original Letter to Curves
  (Menu > Object > Convert to Curves)
  select all Nodes and move the Object on the canvas
  (we do this because when you move the Original then,
  the clones will move as well)

• and you could find your one Ideas

@Subpath I just had a chance to experiment with your Letter Pattern technique and I appreciate the number of principles you are demonstrating, namely:

• How to leverage cloning to the best advantage,
• How editing nodes can be used to alter the base location of cloned shapes, and
• The power of the Shape Picker Tool to easily swap shapes in a complicated setup.

Thank you for this tutorial!
