PLUGINS

Artlandia's plugin Symmetry Works
SymmetryWorks takes the selected part of your artwork and automatically applies all the necessary rotations, reflections, and other transformations to create a pattern. Then, the plug-in keeps all elements of the pattern hot-linked to your original artwork. As soon as you modify the original, the plug-in immediately updates the pattern. It's like you magically edit dozens of elements at once.
