How has a pattern like this been achieved. They are not uniform and the same image is twisted around into different positions but evenly spaced to form a pattern
I am seeing a variety of patterns copied, rotated and overlayed throughout:
Now, as to how they get to fit and play nice with each other is just a question of patience and planning.
Does the overall pattern (I am assuming this is just a small chunk of it) begin to repeat anywhere on the overall?
This is all I have of the pattern....it's a diagram of an embossing folder. I see examples of these kind of patterns all the time on paper that are designed for crafting. As I am designing paper myself I would love to be able to produce these kind of patterns over a larger area like an A4 Sheet
Here is another more simple one......I could rotate each one of my own designs but if it's over a large area it would take a lot of time......just wondered if there is a quicker method

Yes, a commercial macro such as symmetrical.
See example:
Notice the bottom options in the macro? it allows you to save a pattern as a CorelDRAW full color pattern.
This is extremely cool, since you can fill any size area with the pattern and easily experiment with scaling.
Open attached CDR, and re-size the rectangle. See?
Also, press "G" key and drag cross shape to adjust pattern size and rotation.
Thank You Jeff

Thanks Jeff......that's a brilliant video!
I do have this tool and although I have used it a bit to achieve some patterns I haven't realized it's full potential until now

Glad you liked it. I also covered a few other techniques I use in my work when creating fresh and unique backgrounds for projects.
