Getting around artwork

In this chapter I'm going to show you how to get around the Document Window. I'll show you how to zoom in on key details, zoom out to take in an entire Artboard or illustration and pan from one area to another using a variety of hidden techniques. Now this means learning a lot of shortcuts, but once you know them, you can move around Illustrator without even thinking. I'll also show you how to customize the interface, gain immediate access to some essential panels, save your workspace and establish some Performance-enhancing Preferences. It's all about coming to terms with Illustrator, so that you can work inside the program at maximum efficiency and with minimum frustration.
