    The term is expand. Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 8:56
  • Is this new functionality? The version of Illustrator CC I'm using doesn't have Object > Repeat > Grid. Did you mean Object > Pattern > Make, then Tile Type: "Grid"? After making a pattern you click Done. To expand/bake in a pattern filled object, click Object > Expand. To rasterize an object, click Object > Rasterize. Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 9:58
  • @BillyKerr idk, i'm using Illustrator 26.5. You can see the grid feature here. Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 11:14
  • @MEATTAIL - yeah must be new. Don't see the point of it TBH. Illustrator already had tiled pattern functionality. I'm not upgrading just to find out. Sorry. Yeah, try "Expand". Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 11:24
