The Adobe Illustrator tool box has several tools that are hidden behind the ones you can see. To select one of these, hold the mouse button down on a tool until the others pop up to the side, then drag your mouse over to the tool you want, and release the mouse button. You can also "tear off" parts of the tool bar so they become stand alone palettes with all the tools in that set visible.
Remember, to make something happen, you must first select the object (with a selection tool), then perform the manipulation or transformation you wish. If you want to manipulate the entire object, and not just part of it, make sure all the points on the object are solid. To see how each thing works, move your cursor over a tool set or label. |
You create and manipulate your documents and files using various elements, such as panels, bars, and windows. Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace. The workspaces of the different applications in Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 share the same appearance so that you can move between the applications easily. You can also adapt each application to the way you work by selecting from several preset workspaces or by creating one of your own.
