This web site contains links to other sites. Click the same panel menu icon in the panel showing, and choose Small Thumbnail View to return the swatches to their original view. In addition to the panel menus, context-sensitive menus display commands relevant to the active tool, selection, or panel. Usually the commands in a context menu are available in another part of the workspace, but using a context menu can save you time.
Move the pointer over the dark gray area surrounding the artwork. Then, right-click to show a context menu with specific options. The context-sensitive menu you see may contain different commands, depending on what the pointer is positioned over. Tip If you move the pointer over the tab or title bar for a panel and right-click, you can close a panel or a panel group from the context menu that appears.
Adjusting the user-interface Similar to Adobe InDesign or Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator supports a brightness adjustment for the application user interface. This is a program preference setting that allows you to choose a brightness setting from four preset levels. You can also scale the user interface of Illustrator based on your screen resolution. When you launch Illustrator, it identifies your screen resolution and adjusts the application scale factor accordingly.
Scale the user interface using the UI Scaling settings in the User Interface preferences section of the Preferences dialog box. The magnification level, which can range from 3. Each time you choose a Zoom option, the view of the artwork is resized to the closest preset zoom level. Using any of the viewing tools and commands affects only the display of the artwork, not the actual size of the artwork. The preset zoom levels appear in a menu in the lower- left corner of the Document window, identified by a down arrow next to a percentage.
You can also use the View menu to fit the active artboard to your screen, to fit all artboards into the view area, or to view artwork at actual size. The active artboard is the selected artboard. Artboards represent the areas that can contain printable artwork similar to pages in a program like Adobe InDesign.
The artboard is indicated by a red line added to the following figure. Using the Zoom tool In addition to the View menu options, you can use the Zoom tool to magnify and reduce the view of artwork to predefined magnification levels. Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel and then move the pointer into the Document window. The artwork is displayed at a higher magnification. Notice that where you clicked is now in the center of the Document window.
Click two more times on the text. A minus sign — appears at the center of the Zoom tool pointer. With the Option or Alt key pressed, click the artwork twice to reduce the view of the artwork. Using the Zoom tool, you can also drag in the document to zoom in and out.
With the Zoom tool still selected, drag from the left side of the document to the right to zoom in. The zooming is animated. Drag from right to left to zoom out. Note If your computer does not meet the system requirements for GPU Performance, you will instead draw a dotted rectangle, called a marquee, when dragging with the Zoom tool. Tip With the Zoom tool selected, if you move the pointer into the Document window and press the mouse button for a few seconds, you can zoom in using the animated zoom.
The Zoom tool is used frequently during the editing process to enlarge and reduce the view of artwork. Because of this, Illustrator allows you to select it using the keyboard at any time without first deselecting any other tool you may be using. If you decide to use these shortcuts in Illustrator, you may want to turn off or change those keyboard shortcuts in the macOS System Preferences. GPU Performance The graphics processing unit GPU , found on video cards and part of display systems, is a specialized processor that can rapidly execute commands for manipulating and displaying images.
GPU-accelerated computing offers faster performance across a broad range of design, animation, and video applications. This feature is available on compatible Mac and Windows computers. Scrolling through a document In Illustrator, you can use the Hand tool to pan to different areas of a document.
Using the Hand tool allows you to push the document around much like you would a piece of paper on your desk. This can be a useful way to move around in a document with a lot of artboards or when you are zoomed in.
Press and hold on the Zoom tool and select the Hand tool in the Tools panel. Drag down in the Document window. As you drag, the artwork moves with the hand. As with the Zoom tool , you can select the Hand tool with a keyboard shortcut without first deselecting the active tool.
Click any other tool except the Type tool in the Tools panel, and move the pointer into the Document window. Hold down the spacebar on the keyboard to temporarily select the Hand tool and then drag to bring the artwork back into the center of your view. Release the spacebar. Note The spacebar shortcut for the Hand tool does not work when the Type tool is active and the cursor is in text.
The touch layout has a cleaner interface that allows you to comfortably use a stylus or your fingertip to access the tools and controls of the Touch workspace. At any time on a supported device , you can immediately switch between the Touch and traditional workspaces to access the full range of Illustrator tools and controls. On a touch device, such as a Direct touch device a touchscreen device , Indirect touch device the trackpad on macOS , a touchpad, or a Wacom Intuos5 and later device, you can also use standard touch gestures pinch and swipe to do the following: Pinch in or out, using two fingers like the thumb and forefinger to zoom.
Place two fingers on the touch device, and move the fingers together to pan within the document. Swipe or flick to navigate artboards. Viewing artwork When you open a file, it is automatically displayed in Preview mode, which shows how the artwork will print. Illustrator offers other ways of viewing your artwork, such as outlines and rasterized. This is called Outline mode. Only the outlines of objects are displayed.
You can use this view to find and select objects that might not be visible in Preview mode. This view is helpful for those in the print industry who need to see how inks interact when set to overprint. Note When switching between viewing modes, visual changes may not be readily apparent. When you turn on Pixel preview, Overprint preview is turned off.
Pixel preview can be used to see how the artwork will look when it is rasterized and viewed on-screen in a web browser. An arrow is pointing to it in the figure. This is useful when you need to see all artboards in the document in one window and to edit content in any of those artboards in a zoomed-in view. It is in a free-floating group in the workspace. The Navigator panel can be used in several ways, including the following: The red box in the Navigator panel, called the proxy view area, indicates the area of the document that is being shown.
Type in a zoom value or click the mountain icons to change the magnification of your artwork. Position the pointer inside the proxy view area of the Navigator panel. When the pointer becomes a hand , drag to pan to different parts of the artwork. Navigating artboards As you may recall, artboards contain printable artwork, similar to pages in Adobe InDesign. You can use artboards to crop areas for printing or placement purposes. You can easily share content among designs, create multipage PDFs, and print multiple pages by creating more than one artboard.
Illustrator allows for up to 1, artboards within a single file depending on their size. Multiple artboards can be added when you initially create an Illustrator document, or you can add, remove, and edit artboards after the document is created.
Next, you will learn how to efficiently navigate a document that contains multiple artboards. Click Open to open the file. Notice that there are two artboards in the document that contain the designs for the front and back of a postcard.
The artboards in a document can be arranged in any order, orientation, or artboard size—they can even overlap. Suppose that you want to create a four-page brochure. You can create different artboards for every page of the brochure, all with the same size and orientation. They can be arranged horizontally or vertically or in whatever way you like. When you select artwork, it makes the artboard that the artwork is on the active, or selected, artboard. By choosing the Fit Artboard In Window command, the currently active artboard is fit into the Document window.
The active artboard is identified in the Artboard Navigation menu in the Status bar in lower-left corner of the Document window. Currently it is artboard 2. Choose 1 from the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel. Notice the arrows to the right of the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel. You can use these to navigate to the previous and next artboards. Those arrows plus a few others also appear in the status bar below the document.
Click the Next navigation button in the Status bar below the document to view the next artboard artboard 2 in the Document window. The Artboard Navigation menu and navigation arrows always appear in the Status bar below the document, but they appear in the Properties panel only when not in Artboard Editing mode, the Selection tool is selected, and nothing is selected. Using the Artboards panel Another method for navigating multiple artboards is to use the Artboards panel.
The Artboards panel lists all artboards currently in the document and allows you to navigate between artboards, rename artboards, add or delete artboards, edit artboard settings, and more. Note Double-clicking the artboard name in the Artboards panel allows you to change the name of the artboard.
Clicking the artboard icon or to the right of the artboard name in the panel allows you to edit artboard options. The artboard named Front is now fit in the Document window. Notice that when you double-click to navigate to an artboard, that artboard is also fit in the Document window. Click the X at the top of the Artboards panel group to close it. Arranging multiple documents When you open more than one document in Illustrator, the Document windows are tabbed.
You can also use the Arrange Documents menu to quickly display your open documents in a variety of configurations. Each file has its own tab at the top of the Document window.
These documents are considered a group of Document windows. You can create document groups to loosely associate files while they are open. Release the mouse button to see the new tab order. Dragging the document tabs allows you to change the order of the documents. This can be useful if you use the document shortcuts to navigate to the next or previous document. Note Be careful to drag directly to the right. Otherwise, you could undock the Document window and create a new group.
To see both of the documents at the same time, maybe to drag artwork from one to the other, you can arrange the Document windows by cascading or tiling them.
Cascading allows you to cascade stack different document groups. Tiling shows multiple Document windows at one time, in various arrangements. The available space in the Application frame is divided between the documents. Do the same for the Document window on the right. Note Your documents may be tiled in a different order. With documents tiled, you can drag artwork between documents, which copies them from one document to another.
When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Click the Consolidate All button to bring the documents back together. Note On Windows, menus appear in the Application bar. Click the Arrange Documents button in the Application bar to display the Arrange Documents menu again. Click the 2-Up vertical button in the Arrange Documents menu.
Data recovery When you restart Illustrator after a program crash, you have the option of recovering work-in-progress files so that your hours of work are not wasted. Review questions 1. Describe two ways to change the view of a document. How do you select a tool in Illustrator? How do you save panel locations and visibility preferences? Describe a few ways to navigate among artboards in Illustrator. Describe how arranging Document windows can be helpful.
Review answers 1. You can choose commands from the View menu to zoom in or out of a document or to fit it to your screen; you can also use the Zoom tool in the Tools panel and click or drag over a document to enlarge or reduce the view. In addition, you can use keyboard shortcuts to magnify or reduce the display of artwork. You can also use the Navigator panel to scroll artwork or to change its magnification without using the Document window. To select a tool, you can either click the tool in the Tools panel or press the keyboard shortcut for that tool.
For example, you can press V to select the Selection tool from the keyboard. Selected tools remain active until you click a different tool. To navigate among artboards in Illustrator, you can choose the artboard number from the Artboard Navigation menu at the lower-left of the Document window; with nothing selected and while not in Artboard Editing mode, you can choose the artboard number from the Artboard Navigation menu or use the Active Artboard arrows in the Properties panel; you can use the Artboard Navigation arrows in the status bar in lower-left of the Document window to go to the first, previous, next, and last artboards; you can use the Artboards panel to navigate to artboards; or you can use the Navigator panel to drag the proxy view area to navigate between artboards.
This can be useful if you are working on multiple Illustrator files and you need to compare or share content among them. In this lesson, you learn how to locate and select objects using the Selection tools; protect other objects by grouping, hiding, and locking them; align objects to each other and the artboard; and much more.
Recognize Smart Guides. Save selections for future use. Hide and lock items. Use tools and commands to align shapes and points to each other and the artboard. Group and ungroup items. Work in Isolation mode. Starting the lesson Creating, selecting, and editing are the cornerstones of creating artwork in Adobe Illustrator. To ensure that the tools function and the defaults are set exactly as described in this lesson, delete or deactivate by renaming the Adobe Illustrator CC preferences file.
In the Save As dialog box, name the file ZooPoster. In the Illustrator Options dialog box, leave the Illustrator options at their default settings, and click OK. Using the Selection tool The Selection tool in the Tools panel lets you select, move, rotate, and resize entire objects. Choose 2 Pieces from the Artboard Navigation menu in the lower left of the Document window. This should fit the artboard on the right into the window.
The icon that appears next to the pointer as it passes over objects indicates that there is artwork under the pointer that can be selected. When you hover over an object, that object is also outlined in a color, like blue in this instance. Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel, and click a few times on the beige circles to zoom in. Select the Selection tool in the Tools panel and then move the pointer over the edge of the beige circle on the left.
Smart Guides are temporary snap-to guides that help you align, edit, and transform objects or artboards. Click anywhere inside the circle on the left to select it. A bounding box with eight handles appears around the selected circle. The bounding box can be used to make changes to artwork vector or raster , such as resizing or rotating. The bounding box also indicates that an item is selected and ready to be modified. The color of the bounding box indicates which layer the object is on. Using the Selection tool, click in the circle on the right.
Notice that the circle on the left is now deselected and only the circle on the right is selected. Note Note: To select an item that has no fill, you can click the stroke the edge or drag across the object.
Pressing the Shift key, click the circle on the left to add it to the selection and then release the key. Both circles are now selected, and a larger bounding box surrounds them. Move the circles a short distance by pressing and dragging from inside either selected circle in the beige color. Because both circles are selected, they move together. As you drag, you may notice that magenta lines appear. These are called alignment guides.
As you drag, the objects align to other objects in the document. Measurement labels also appear because Smart Guides are turned on.
In the dialog box that appears, click Revert. Selecting and editing with the Direct Selection tool In Illustrator, as you draw, you create vector paths that are made up of anchor points and paths.
Anchor points are used to control the shape of the path and work like pins holding a wire in place. A shape you create, like a square, is composed of at least four anchor points on the corners with paths connecting the anchor points. One way to change the shape of a path or shape is by dragging its anchor points.
Choose 2 from the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel on the right. Select the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel on the left.
Click inside one of the larger green bamboo shapes to see the anchor points. Notice that the anchor points are all filled with a blue color, which means they are selected.
Move the pointer directly over the upper-right anchor point. Also notice the little white box next to the pointer. The small dot that appears in the center of the white box indicates that the cursor is positioned over an anchor point. Click and release to select that anchor point and then move the pointer away.
Notice that only the anchor point you selected is now filled with blue, indicating that it is selected, and the other anchor points in the shape are now hollow filled with white , indicating that they are not selected.
With the Direct Selection tool still selected, move the pointer over the selected anchor point and then drag it to edit the shape. Note The gray measurement label that appears as you drag the anchor point has the values dX and dY.
Try clicking another point on a corner of the shape. Notice that when you select the new point, the previous point is deselected. Changing the size of anchor points, handles, and bounding box display The anchor points, handles, and bounding box points may be difficult to see at times.
In the Illustrator preferences, you can adjust the size of those features. Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel, and click the beige circles several times to zoom in closely. Move the pointer above and to the left of the leftmost beige circle and then drag downward and to the right to create a marquee that overlaps the tops of both circles.
Release the mouse button. When dragging with the Selection tool , you need to encompass only a small part of an object to select it. Select the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel.
Starting off the top left of the leftmost circle see the first part of the following figure , drag across the top edges of the two circles and then release the mouse button.
Only the top anchor points become selected. With the anchor points selected, you may see what look like little handles coming from the anchor points. Those are called direction handles, and they can be used to control the curve of the path. Make sure you drag the square anchor point and not the round end of one of the handles. Move the pointer over one of the selected anchor points at the top of a circle.
Hiding and locking objects Selecting artwork may be more difficult when there are objects stacked one on another or when there are multiple objects in a small area. Choose 1 Final Artwork from the artboard navigation menu in the lower-left. See the following figure. Notice that you drag the large blue-green shape, not the head shapes. Locking objects prevents you from selecting and editing them. Move the pointer into the blue-green area to the left of the animal artwork and then drag across the head of the animal again, this time selecting the whole thing.
Note Any artwork within the marquee area will be selected using this method. Press the Shift key and click each eye shape, one at a time, to remove the eyes from the selection. The selected shapes are temporarily hidden so that you can more easily select other objects. The stroke of an object is the outline border , and the stroke weight is the width of the stroke.
All of the shapes with the same stroke border color are now selected. If you know that you may need to reselect a series of objects again, like the shapes you just selected, you can save that selection.
Saved selections are a great way to easily make a selection later, and they are saved only with that document. Selecting in Outline mode By default, Adobe Illustrator displays all artwork with their paint attributes, like fill and stroke, showing. However, you can choose to display artwork so that only outlines or paths are visible. The next method for selecting involves viewing artwork in Outline mode. It can be useful if you want to select objects within a series of stacked objects.
With the Selection tool , click within one of the eye shapes to select it not the X in the center. Outline mode displays artwork as outlines without fill. To select in Outline mode, you can click the edge of the object or drag a marquee across the shape to select it.
Tip In Outline mode, you may see a small X in the center of some of the shapes. If you click that X, you can select the shape.
With the Selection tool selected, drag across both eye shapes. Press the Up Arrow key several times to move both shapes up a little bit. Tip You could have also clicked the edge of one of the shapes and then pressed the Shift key and clicked the edge of the other to select both.
Aligning objects Illustrator makes it easy to align or distribute multiple objects relative to each other, the artboard, or a key object. Aligning objects to each other One type of alignment is aligning objects to each other. This can be useful if, for instance, you want to align the top edges of a series of selected shapes to each other. Click the Next Artboard button in the lower-left corner of the Document window to fit the artboard with the selected green shapes in the window.
Click the Horizontal Align Center button in the Properties panel on the right. Notice that all of the selected objects move to align to the horizontal center. Leave the objects selected for the next section.
Aligning to a key object A key object is an object that you want other objects to align to. This can be useful when you want to align a series of objects and maybe one of them is already in the perfect position.
You specify a key object by selecting all the objects you want to align, including the key object, and then clicking the key object again.
With the shapes still selected, click the leftmost shape with the Selection tool. When selected, the key object has a thick outline indicating that other objects will align to it. Note The key object outline color is determined by the layer color that the object is on.
Click the Horizontal Align Center button in the Properties panel again. Leave the shapes selected for the next section. Notice that all of the selected shapes moved to align to the horizontal center of the key object. Click the key object an arrow is pointing to it in the last part of the previous figure to remove the blue outline, and leave all of the green shapes selected.
The selected content will no longer align to the key object. Distributing objects Distributing objects using the Align panel enables you to select multiple objects and distribute the spacing between the centers or edges of those objects equally. Next, you will make the spacing between the green shapes even. With the green shapes still selected, click More Options in the Align section of the Properties panel circled in the figure.
Click the Vertical Distribute Center button in the panel that appears. Distributing moves all the selected shapes so that the spacing between the center of each of them is equal. With the shapes still selected, click the topmost shape of the selected shapes to make it the key object.
Click More Options in the Align section of the Properties panel circled in the following figure. Ensure that the Distribute Spacing value is 0 zero and then click the Vertical Distribute Space button. Distribute Spacing distributes the spacing between selected objects, whereas the Distribute Objects alignments distribute the spacing between the centers of selected objects. The value you can set is a great way to set a specific distance between objects. Like setting a key object in the previous section, you can also set a key anchor point that other anchor points will align to.
Select the Direct Selection tool , and click in the orange shape at the bottom of the current artboard to see all of the anchor points.
Click the lower-right corner point of the shape. Press the Shift key and click to select the lower-left point of the same shape to select both anchor points see the second part of the following figure. The last selected anchor point is the key anchor point. Other points will align to this point. Note Currently, dragging across anchor points will not set a key anchor point. Click the Vertical Align Top button in the Properties panel to the right of the document. The first anchor point selected aligns to the second anchor point selected.
Aligning to the artboard You can also align content to the active artboard page rather than to a selection or a key object. Aligning to the artboard aligns each selected object separately to the edges of the artboard. With the Selection tool selected, click the orange shape at the bottom of the right-hand artboard to select it. Click the Previous artboard button in the lower-left corner of the Document window to navigate to the first left artboard in the document, which contains the final artwork.
As of the writing of this book, there is no option in the Properties panel to align a single selected object to the artboard. Choose Show Options from the Align panel menu circled in the following figure. If you see Hide Options in the menu, then you are all set. Any content you align will now align to the artboard. Click the Horizontal Align Right button and then click the Vertical Align Bottom button in the Align panel to align the orange shape to the horizontal right and vertical bottom of the artboard 9.
Leave the Align panel open. The orange shape will be on top of the other artwork. Later, you will put it behind the other animal artwork. Working with groups You can combine objects into a group so that the objects are treated as a single unit. It can also make selecting artwork easier. Click the Group button in the Quick Actions section of the Properties panel on the right to group the selected artwork together.
With the Selection tool selected, click one of the shapes in the new group. Because they are grouped together, all are now selected.
Drag the bamboo group of shapes close to the top of the artboard on the left. Click the X at the top of the Align panel group to close it. With the Selection tool selected, press the Shift key and then drag the lower-right corner of the bounding box down to the bottom of the artboard to make the bamboo shapes larger. When the pointer reaches the bottom of the artboard, release the mouse and then the key.
Editing a group in Isolation mode Isolation mode isolates groups or sublayers so that you can easily select and edit specific objects or parts of objects without having to ungroup the objects. Next, you will edit a group using Isolation mode.
With the Selection tool , drag across the two green leaves on the right artboard to select them. Click the Group button at the bottom of the Properties panel to group them together. Double-click one of the leaves to enter Isolation mode. Click to select the smaller leaf shape. Click the Fill color box in the Properties panel on the right, and making sure the Swatches option is selected in the panel that appears, click to select a different green color.
When you enter Isolation mode, groups are temporarily ungrouped. This enables you to edit objects in the group or to add new content without having to ungroup. Double-click outside of the shapes within the group to exit Isolation mode.
Tip To exit Isolation mode, you can also click the gray arrow in the upper-left corner of the Document window, press the Escape key when in Isolation mode, or double-click a blank area of the Document window. Click to select the leaf group, and leave it selected for the next section.
Notice that the leaves are once again grouped, and you can also now select other objects. Creating a nested group Groups can also be nested—grouped within other objects or grouped to form larger groups.
Nesting is a common technique used when designing artwork. Drag the group of leaves onto the bamboo on the left artboard, and leave them selected. Shift-click the bamboo group to select it as well. Click the Group button in the Properties panel. You have created a nested group—a group that is combined with other objects or groups to form a larger group. With the Selection tool, click the leaves to select the nested group.
Double-click the leaves to enter Isolation mode. Click to select the leaves again, and notice that the leaf shapes are still grouped. This is a nested group. Tip Instead of either ungrouping a group or entering Isolation mode to select the content within, you can select with the Group Selection tool. Nested within the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel, the Group Selection tool lets you select an object within a group, a single group within multiple groups, or a set of groups within the artwork.
Drag them lower onto the bamboo. Press the Escape key to exit Isolation mode; then click a blank area of an artboard to deselect the objects. Exploring object arrangement As you create objects, Illustrator stacks them in order on the artboards, beginning with the first object created.
This ordering of objects, called stacking order, determines how they display when they overlap. You can change the stacking order of objects in your artwork at any time, using either the Layers panel or the Arrange commands. With the Selection tool selected, click the orange shape at the bottom of the artboard. Click the Arrange button in the Properties panel. Choose Send To Back to send the shape behind all of the other shapes.
Click the Arrange button again, and choose Bring Forward to bring the orange shape on top of the large blue-green background shape. Selecting objects behind When you stack objects on top of each other, sometimes it becomes difficult to select objects that are underneath. Drag across both beige circles on the artboard on the right to select them. Pressing the Shift key, drag a corner to make them smaller. When the measurement label shows a width of approximately 1.
Click away from the circles to deselect them and then drag either of them on top of one of the dark eye shapes on the animal. Release the mouse. The circle disappears but is still selected.
It went behind the dark circle the eye because it was created before the eye shape, which means it is lower in the stacking order. With the circle still selected, click the Arrange button in the Properties panel, and choose Bring To Front. This brings the smaller circle to the front of the stack, making it the topmost object.
With the Selection tool , select the other beige circle on the right artboard and then drag it onto the other eye shape on the left artboard. This circle disappears like the other, but this time, you will deselect the circle and then reselect it using another method.
