Issue with Enlarging Masters

Hi,
I am trying to fill a large box with a concrete pattern, like concrete
hatching in autocad. However, whenever I make the concrete pathway shape
(from the garden accessories menu) as large as I need the pattern becomes too
large and grainy. Is there anyway to make this larger concrete pathway have
an even distribution of pattern. I also tried to make multiple smaller boxes
of the concrete pathway but there seems to be no way to remove the lines
separating them to make the look as one (combine, union, group just removes
the concrete pattern). I really just need a fill style that looks like the
concrete on autocad. Help!

The shape doesn't contain a pattern in the Visio sense, it's really just a
finite number (10 or so) of geometries.

You might want to check out the downloads at the bottom of this blog post:

The post is mostly about line patterns, but there are some nice fill
patterns as well.

Hope that helps

Best regards

John
