How to repeat pattern, suggest some short cut to speed up the design thanks

hi, sorry if it’s too late, but here…

1. general way of creation and use of patterns in vector-based software is to make the pattern first, and make it into a component
2. (since figma has no “tile-filling”) create a few clones of it until it covers the area you want to
3. scale accordingly
4. apply mask or object-intersection
5. make sure the final export has/dont have pixels with alpha-transparency (depending on your intention)

and also, start with everything 10x your intended export size – it will be easier to deal with if your thing is 1000px instead of 100

here is a generalized example, similar to what you showed: https://www.figma.com/file/ngTOMOUwxLbdgYHw7fsPk9/cross-lines

the point for this entire system is so you can just change anything separately, and it will affect all subsequent steps (unless you deliberately detach cloned components):
