What it is

Artlandia SymmetryWorks is an Adobe Illustrator plug-in for building repeat patterns on Windows and macOS. Editing a motif updates its linked pattern immediately. Pattern tools include one-click creation, interactive editing, replicas, multi-replicas, repeat systems, and templates. It works with Illustrator symbols, compound shapes, blends, and raster images, and patterns can be saved as Illustrator swatches. Version 6 adds counterchange symmetry operations and editable color reversal. The LP edition adds LivePresets, which update objects filled with SymmetryWorks patterns. Supported repeat styles include shift, drop, brick, half-drop, rotational, spiral, mosaic, check, and kaleidoscope among others. Version 6.5 supports Illustrator CS6 through CC 2025; the store lists 6.5 for CC 2023 and later, with versions 6 and 5 for older releases. Prices range from $124.50, paid once for the student download to $399, paid once for the LP shipped version.
