In-Depth Information
The outer corner tile has been automatically generated by Illustrator, based on the
original rope artwork. In the menu, you can choose from four types of corners that are
automatically generated:
•
Auto-Centered
. The side tile is stretched around the corner and centered on it.
•
Auto-Between
. Copies of the side tile extend all the way into the corner, with one
copy on each side. Folding elimination is used to stretch them into shape.
•
Auto-Sliced
. The side tile is sliced diagonally, and the pieces come together, similar
to a miter joint in a wooden picture frame.
•
Auto-Overlap
. Copies of the tiles overlap at the corner.
Choose Auto-Between from the menu. This generates the outer corner of any path that
the Pattern brush will be applied to from the rope.

Click OK. The Border brush appears in the Brushes panel.
Applying a Pattern brush
In this section, you'll apply the Border Pattern brush to a rectangular border around the
artwork. As you've seen, when you use drawing tools to apply brushes to artwork, you first
draw the path with the drawing tool and then select the brush in the Brushes panel to apply
the brush to the path.
