Okay, hopefully I'm not breaking etiquette, by asking 2-unrelated questions in one thread, I figured I'd keep my questions isolated here for convenience...

I was googling around yesterday wondering if Designer can tile a singular image example:

Original "tileable texture":
Click image for larger version.  Name: TextureTile.jpg  Views: 92  Size: 23.4 KB  ID: 112713

In Substance Designer they have a simple "2D transform" node that lets you offset / rotate / scale an incoming image - here I simply "/2" the image 4-times or so to increase the tiling:
Click image for larger version.  Name: TransformedTile.jpg  Views: 102  Size: 21.0 KB  ID: 112712

Is there a way to do this in Designer? Or is there perhaps a compatible plugin that Designer can use to tile a selected image?

I've been doing the vector work in Designer, and bitmap stuff like this in Substance Designer, but the more I can stay with Designer, especially when it already has great image editing tools (I love the clone and image clip to shape features), it would allow me to stay totally within Designer for everything I'm doing.

Anyway, just wondering if I'm missing out on something Xara Designer can do...

Thanks!
