Join Tony Harmer for an in-depth discussion in this video Transforming objects, part of Illustrator CC 2018 Essential Training.
- [Instructor] It's now night time in our little street…and it looks like we have visitors, oh dear!…I've got no cake in and I don't even have the kettle on.…What a terrible host I must be.…But wait, I can entertain them and you…with looking at transformations inside of Illustrator.…Illustrator has bunch of five different transformation…tools we can use to affect selected objects.…Now for your viewing comfort I'm going to zoom in…on each of these objects, I'm not going to mention…every time how I'm doing it…but basically I'll be holding down…Command + spacebar, and Control + spacebar…and zooming in like so…and then panning by by just holding…down the spacebar like that.…
Okay, so the first transformation…is MOVE, no surprises there.…If I get the selection tool which acts as a MOVE tool…and drag this to another location…no massive surprise that it actually moves.…What you may not know is that the MOVE tool…in common with the other transformation tools…actually has a dialog, and if you hit return…when you've got a selected object…
