this one pattern won't let me drag it from the swatch palette onto the artboard/work area so I can change the colors. yet other patterns let me.
what gives?

in the "Color" palette, you can grab the pattern swatch from the "fill" and drag it to your artboard.

right...as I said it's not bringing this one swatch out.

anyone?
- horton0
must include an element that's not compatible with patterns... any chance you added an effect, gradient, image, or maybe used livepaint to fill?
- doesnotexist0
nah, i've been working on these patterns for weeks now and suddenly this one pattern is giving me trouble.
- horton0
dunno then. maybe copy and paste vectors into a new file and do that whole routine. saved down as eps, reopen etc etc.

apply to shape and break apart and put it back in? dunno.

got your file...
yeah cannot drag the swatch to artboard for whatevr reason.
but i was able to expand your sample on artboard, create a new swatch from one tile, and recreate a swatch that will drag back to artboard.
