1 Select the object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Fill Tool

3. Choose Elliptical from the drop-down list on the Fill Tool Infobar.

4. Drag from the center of the fill to create the fill. This creates a circular fill. Drag the fill handles to create an elliptical fill.

5. If you want a repeating fill pattern (like concentric rings), select Repeating from Fill Tiling on the Fill Tool Infobar.
