      I have a question about coloring objects that are repeated
      in a Repeater and colored using a bitmap.

      My question is:
      Is there a way to select the bitmap used for coloring after the process is complete?
      At the moment, the bitmap simply disappears after running "Create in Largest Object"
      and "Create repeated Objects."

      I’ve been looking for a way to move the bitmap afterward—for instance, to align the object
      colors with a pattern in the bitmap—but I haven't been able to locate the bitmap anywhere
      (e.g., in the Layers panel).

        @Subpath The bitmap can be moved but it moves the whole repeater group.
        (repeated objects are positioned relative to the backdrop that is the bitmap)

        What you need is to adjust the offset of the repeated objects in the repeater options (second button in the repeater panel).

          @Subpath There is a very convenient workaround: just place the image inside a clipping frame, and then use the Repeater to color repeated objects. This way, you can see the image inside the Layers panel, select it, and freely move or scale it as you like.

                I changed the permissions to public, but I don't know why it won't let you view it without logging in. You can just download it directly

                  I made you a video how this work in "Paragraphic" a pretty
                  neat app from "Lost Minds", is pretty easy.

                  "Praragraphic" is a good companion for Vectorstyler.
