To select the Transform Pattern Tiles preferences option:
Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator > 
Preferences > Workgroup (Mac OS X).
Select Transform Pattern Tiles to select Pattern Tiles automatically in the transformation 
dialog boxes, and click OK.
Changing strokes, gradients, blends, patterns, flares, 
envelopes, and symbols into regular objects 
The Expand command can convert strokes, gradients, blends, patterns, flares, envelopes, 
and symbols into regular objects. For example, you can use this command to convert fills 
and strokes into individual objects, or convert gradients into mesh objects. (See 
.) This command can be particularly useful if you are having 
difficulty printing objects that contain these effects. 
To convert fills or strokes into objects:
Select a filled or stroked object, or an object that has been both filled and stroked.
Choose Object > Expand. If the Expand command is dimmed, you may need to choose 
Object > Expand Appearance first.
Do one of the following:
To expand only the fill, select Fill.
To expand only the stroke, select Stroke.
To expand both the fill and the stroke, select both Fill and Stroke.
Click OK.
To convert gradients, blends, and patterns into objects:
Select the blend, flare, envelope, symbol, or object that has been filled or stroked with a 
gradient or pattern.
Choose Object > Expand. 
Do one of the following:
If you are expanding a complex object, select the Object option, and click OK.
If you are expanding a gradient, select the Specify Objects option, enter the number of 
steps to which you want to convert the gradient, and click OK.
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you choose Object > Expand to 
expand a gradient using the settings last entered in the Expand dialog box.
To convert gradients into a mesh:
Select objects that have been filled or stroked with a gradient.
Choose Object > Expand. 
In the Expand Gradient To box, click Gradient Mesh.
Click OK.
