How do I make the CADpattern rotate or scale inside the object?
Enable Transform Pattern Tiles by checking Transform Pattern Tiles in the Illustrator Preferences > General panel. Then the patterns applied to objects will automatically transform with the objects. You can also use the Rotate, Reflect, Scale, or Shear tools to adjust the pattern without affecting the object. Select the object and choose the Rotate, Reflect, Scale, or Shear tool. Then hold down the tilde key (~), and drag. The pattern will adjust inside the object.
