Modify a replicator in the HUD

When you create a replicator from a source layer, the onscreen pattern is built using the default parameters in the Replicator Inspector and Replicator Cell Inspector. You can modify the most important of these parameters in Replicator HUD and the Replicator Cell HUD. The HUD also provides quick access to the Opacity and Blend Mode parameters, located in the Properties Inspector.
