Group pattern elements?

[dehrlich]

Need some help here. I managed to draw this pattern for a front apron on a blanket chest... nobody was more surprised than I that it came out the way I wanted. Thing is I need to resize it a little, meaning I would like to take the whole thing and squeeze it down a couple inches, but of course if I do this everything goes crazy. Is there a way to group it so that it will work? Thanks!

To group you do a select all then right click and select group. Then select all in the group.

To resize you will need to remove any restraints first though. I tried to do it and it got distorted.

Here it is with the curve all as one. You can now resize it. I deleted half, connected all of the points to make half one curve. Double clicked on most of the points to make them tangent. Double clicked again to turn off the tangent (otherwise it would not flip) . Copied, flipped, connected to get the other half.

Thanks, I have the flu and needed something to do!

Wow, I would never have known all that! I did good to be able to draw what I wanted to begin with LOL. Thanks so much! Sorry you are sick, hope you feel better soon.

Need to get your flu shots! Eat healthy, get enough sleep. I seldom get sick anymore, and a cold usually lasts about a day. I always ache all over like the flu, but that is just age and spinal setenonses ( or however you spell it).

Bergerud,

I can recommend several good Canadian distilled spirits that are good relief for that particular snake bite. None will really cure the aches but they at least take your mind off it. Sorry you are feeling low.

I can't make a pattern since they were created by you. But couldn't you just create a pattern?
