Tile Symbols?

[BradBro@adobeforums.com]

Is there any way to tile symbols so that they line up evenly? For instance, if you had a block symbol how can you stack them up so that they cover the page and are perfectly distributed? I tried snap to grid, but they were still off by a tiny bit. Thanks.

Make a Pattern Swatch from the block Symbol:

1) Drag an instance of your Symbol onto the page.

2) Drag the instance to the Swatches Palette. (It becomes a new Pattern Swatch.)

3) Draw a rectangle the size of your page.

4) Apply the Pattern Swatch to the rectangle.

To adjust the spacing, create a rectangle with a fill and stroke of none around the Symbol instance. Group the Symbol instance with the rectangle before dragging it to the Swatches Palette.
