This didn’t work as well for me, so I created horizontal repeating lines from the ‘blend’ tool, made the last line transparent (so it would loop more cleanly, though I should have probably moved it up one line in retrospect) and defined it as a pattern. I then applied it to squares and used the “rotate pattern” function and saved Graphic Styles for Horizontal, Vertical, Upward 45 degree angle, and Downward 45 degree angle repeating lines. When I wanted to see lines closer together or further apart I would just use the pattern zoom function:

To scale pattern only while leaving object untouched,
select pattern object > go to object menu > Transform > Scale > now check only the pattern uncheck others, activate preview, now adjust the value in uniform.

I saved these in an illustrator graphic style palette and you are welcome to use them.

Another way of creating a nice line pattern, where you can control the exact spacing is by using the stroke tools. Just create a line, select “Dashed line” checkbox and make the weight of the stroke some high number like 1000pt. You can change the dash and gap spacing. Try it. Thanks for this tip. -Henry

Nice tute, thanks! It makes sense now that I see how you do it but I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.

If you’re doing a pattern with both vertical (or horizontal) and diagonal stripes, this seems like a much better way to do it, rather than making them separately and trying to reconcile them later.

Doesn’t it’ll be much easier if we just do some
rectangle > then put the line > sizing it > clipping mask? ..

Doesn’t this one is simple?

Making patterns is pretty much essential if you ever want to give something more subtle detail.
