: How can I create a fine diagonal stripe pattern with Adobe design tools? I wanted to recreate this fine stripe pattern - see dark bar behind the logo on top card: I started copy / pasting

In terms of evenly spacing elements in drawing software, I'd use the alignment tools and/or blend tool.

Illustrator has both.

My typical process is:


draw single object
clone/duplicate as many as I need
position one at the beginning and one at the end
select all then use the align tool

Open a new document and create a single small stripe segment.

Then save it as pattern and use it

I made something similar recently in Illustrator. To start out, I created a diagonal line, then copied and pasted it multiple times on my artboard. After I added the desired number of diagonal lines, I used the horizontal and vertical distribution and alignment buttons to evenly distribute and align the lines. For me they are visible by default in the top controls bar after all the lines are selected. If not, turn on Control under your Window tab.
