What it is
Artlandia SymmetryWorks is an Adobe Illustrator plug-in for creating and editing repeat patterns. A change to a motif updates its linked pattern immediately. Its tools include one-click pattern creation, interactive editing, replicas, multi-replicas, repeat systems, and templates. It works with Illustrator objects such as symbols, compound shapes, blends, and raster images, and patterns can be saved as Illustrator swatches.
The plug-in supports repeat types including simple shift, drop, brick, half-drop, rotational, spiral, mosaic, and kaleidoscope. Version 6 adds counterchange symmetry operations and editable color reversal options. The LP edition combines SymmetryWorks with LivePresets, which updates objects filled with SymmetryWorks patterns. Version 6.5 supports Illustrator CS6 through CC 2025, while the store lists version 6.5 for Illustrator CC 2023 and later and versions 6 and 5 for older releases. It runs on Windows and macOS, including Apple silicon systems. One-time full-version download prices are $249, or $364 for the LP edition. Registered purchasers receive 90 days of installation and technical support; upgrade purchasers receive 30 days.
