Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 496 More Live Shapes: ellipses and polygons, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Alright, so having fairly lambasted live rectangles…in the previous movie…I figured I owed it to you to show you two more varieties…of live shape tools that I think are handled…a little more successfully inside the most recent version…of Illustrator CC,…the one that started shipping on November 30th of 2015.…And those are ellipses and polygons.…So first thing I'm going to do is once again…change my fill color to that shade of orange,…works out pretty nicely.…And then I'll go ahead and click and hold…on the Rectangle Tool…and I'll release on this vertical bar…in order to create a free-floating panel of shape tools.…
Now the four varieties of live shape tools…that are available to us…are the Rectangle Tool, as I showed you…in a previous movie,…the Rounded Rectangle Tool,…which really doesn't serve a unique purpose anymore…since you can create rounded rectangles…with the standard Rectangle Tool,…and then we have the Ellipse Tool,…and the Polygon Tool.…I'm going to go ahead and select the Ellipse Tool…and I'm going to draw a big circle…
