: How could I simplify a pattern tile with A LOT of repeated mini squares? I'm designing a nonwoven fabric (the panels size will be 69"x92"). The repeat tile measures 21"x21" and I need to repeat

I'm designing a nonwoven fabric (the panels size will be 69"x92"). The repeat tile measures 21"x21" and I need to repeat mini squares that measure 1/32" each. Above the layers containing these mini squares, the pattern tile will have other elements.

I designed the squares and then repeated them using Effect --> Distort&Transform --> Transform. As you can imagine, the anchor points are too many: my RAM is almost exploding and I really need to find another solution. Repeating the final pattern would be impossible.

I tried to simplify the path with Object -->Path-->Simplify, but it's not enough.

Do you have any suggestions?

I should also specify that I'm repeating these little squares in order to give a "fabric texture" effect to a nonwoven fabric. Any other ideas to recreate a woven effect would be more than welcome.

Thank you so much.

Have you tried actually creating a repeating pattern, as opposed to duplicating the object a bunch of times?

First, create a bit of squares that you want to repeat.

Then, go to Object > Pattern > Make

This will bring up the pattern options.

Once your pattern is created, you will see it in the swatches panel.

Then you only need to create a large rectangle and fill it with your pattern.
