A better way would be to select the trees and edit colours, swapping them out for the new ones. You amend the tree colour and delete the others, then replicate them in to be in the same position. The client comes back and tells you they want that green tree to be orange. You make the first tree with the magic of copy and pasting, job done.
Here’s a small scenario: you’ve been asked to illustrate a forest filled with trees. If you’ve ever used Adobe Flash, symbols work in a very similar fashion. If you find yourself sighing at the screen after doing a 30-second manoeuvre with your mouse cursor, you may want to reconsider learning that particular hotkey. Some notable hotkeys: A/V – Direct selection(For editing)/Object selection(For moving/transforming) Position selected object – Arrow keys (+ shift to move every 10 pixels) Pan (space) Lasso selection (Q) Scale (S) Rotate (R) Colour Pick (I) Group/Ungroup – cmd/Ctrl + G, cmd/Ctrl + Shift + G Cut, copy, paste – cmd/Ctrl + (X, C, V) Paste in place cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V Select All – cmd/Ctrl + A Repeat last action (cmd/ctrl + D) Move the object in front/behind cmd+ Move object in front of everything/behind everything cmd + + Shift You’d be surprised how much back and forth you do, so to cut down on time, we need as many shortcuts at our fingertips. Many programs usually have hotkeys assigned to an action that is used inside the software.
Hotkeys are the cheat codes for executing any main task. This blog will introduce some of the more uncommon features inside Adobe Illustrator, and to help out those who have been using Illustrator for a while or who is curious about learning something new. As for my fellow Illustrator users, here are some nifty tips and tricks to speed up your workflow.
Whether it’s for your client or your grandma’s birthday, we’ve all met a tight deadline. This is aimed at those who are already familiar with Adobe Illustrators’ interface.ĭeadlines.
