Changing the resolution of a bitmap fill

Changing the resolution lets you resize the bitmap used in a bitmap fill.

Drag the outer fill handles. Shift-dragging preserve the aspect ratio of the bitmap. (See Moving bitmap fill handles.) Alternatively, if you want to set the resolution to a precise value you can use the Fill Tool Infobar:

1. Select the bitmap filled object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Fill Tool.

3. Click away from the fill handles to ensure none is selected.

4. Enter a value in DPI into the Resolution field on the Infobar.

5. Press RETURN.

Tips
