Let's give you a detailed explanation of the skills and experiences of the vector design software.
Overview:
How do I bend the font of Illustrator and change the path?
The text tool on the toolbar is a tool group. If you left-click the tool and choose not to place it, its Tool Group is displayed, which contains the path text tool.
Usage: first, use the pen tool or other graphic tools to draw a circle like a chart, and then use the path text tool, when the mouse moves over the circle edge, there is a response. You can click it to enter the text. Other paths are the same!
In addition, there is path text in the text menu bar. After the path text is successfully created, the sub-menu takes effect. There is the path text option, which allows you to set and adjust the path text in more detail.
How do I adjust the gradient color in AI?
First, open your gradient panel, click the slider to change the color, and select the following methods:
1: Change the fill color (in the toolbox );
2: Change the fill color in the color panel;
3: drag the color block to the fill color block of the color panel;
4: click the chromatography at the bottom of the color panel:
5: Enter the color value in the color panel;
If you choose either of them, OK!
Check whether the text is distorted
You can select all and view the text menu. If there is still text that has not been changed, the "create outline" menu is available; otherwise, the menu is gray. You can also choose "Select-text object" from the menu.
Unlock
Unlock all locks ctrl + alt + 2
How does AI output transparent files?
A: It is best to save it as PDF or EPS. PDF and EPS support transparent functions. If you want to output bitmap format, png supports transparent.
How can I transfer files in AI format to Coreldraw?
A: In coreldraw higher versions, you can directly Open ai files (the higher the CDR version, the better ai compatibility). Arctic fish often saves ai as an ai cs version, then use Coreldraw to open it [of course, these two software are not fully compatible yet: some colors (such as gradient and unaltered fonts are very easy to change), so please check carefully]
How to close a path in ai
Select an object. Press ctrl + j.
How to precisely locate reference lines in AI
For example, if I pull a reference line from the ruler, I want to center the reference line on the page. Can I place it in the center of the page by numerical value.
For another example, go to the page in three minutes.
A: use coordinates, X, Y.
How to copy an object so that the copied object is not displaced, just like ctrl + strl + v copying in flash
Ctrl + B and ctrl + F are both in-situ replication, the difference is that B is the rear, F is the front
How to save the set gradient
You can also drag a button to create a color chart.
How can I scatter an object after 3D transformation? Why is there so many sertices after the light is deleted?
Select "object extended appearance" and disband the combination (the raster will become a bitmap, and the page will surely be out of the Sawtooth according to the default settings. Do not raster it as a last resort. If you use it, use the "effect" menu, can be changed later)
How does one implement the masking effect in PS?
For Alpha masks, use "create opacity mask" under the opacity panel menu. ctrl + 7 is a vector mask.
In the same layer, how can we select two objects stacked together? If there are three objects stacked together
Do not forget the layer panel commonly used in PS. It is also a good way to select a lock (ctrl + 2 and ctrl + alt + 2)
How can I use a garden shape to make it look like ctrl + t in PS to distort the effect? In AI, it seems that only rotation is reduced?
Free conversion tool (E), note that you must first hold down the point to be operated, and then press ctrl, shift, alt and other key combinations to display PS ctrl T free torsion. Do not be confused by the definition box of AI by default. It is not a free conversion tool. Object transform can also achieve a certain purpose, but it is not free.
Converting ai files to Pdf files
There are many ways to convert ai to Pdf:
1. You can directly save it as a pdf file. 2. Print it into a ps file and convert it into a pdf file.
In AI, is there a command to automatically align the color block to the reference line?
The intelligent guides (Ctrl + u) under the ai menu are very convenient.
Quickly delete free and empty text boxes
Run the clear command in editing.
How can we achieve that the psd exported from ai is layered (ai to psd )?
First place the object you want to export in ai in different layers, and then select the "write layer" option when AI exports the PSD format.
Pivoting skills in AI:
1. First select an object
2. Switch to a free conversion tool
3. Use a free conversion tool to hold down the left-click exercise table on the deformation point of an object's corner.
4. At the same time, press Ctrl + Alt + Shift on the keyboard, and then drag the mouse
Make text typeset around the graph in ai
Place the image on the text to select the image. Remember that the image must be placed on the top layer to cover the text, and then open the toolbar: Object-text winding-create. Text strip-create an option below to adjust the distance between the image and the text.
Method:
1. In AI, only text in the text box can be circled. That is to say, text entered in the text box dragged by a text tool can be circled.
2. Input or paste the text into the text box that is dragged out.
3. Place images or draw images
4. Place the image or image above the text box. The idea must be above the text box.
5. Select an image or image and execute --- "Object menu"> "text winding" --- create command
If you want to adjust the spacing between images and text, execute --- "object" --- "text winding" --- "option". In the pop-up panel, there is a "displacement" input box, this is the spacing between the image and text.
How to scale the outline with the image in AI
Select the proportional scaling tool (S), press enter, and select ratio to scale the stroke and effect.
In-situ pasting skills
CTRL + C copy
CTRL + F paste in front
CTRL + B paste to the back
Page switching skills
When you open multiple AI documents. It is a little troublesome to switch back and forth. It is a little slow to click here. "CTRL + F6" can switch back and forth.
Draw the rounded corner of the rounded rectangle
1. Select the rounded rectangle tool
2. Press the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the rounded corner.
3. You can draw a rectangle on the left, and draw a half circle (like a playground runway) between the left and right sides.
Draw a polygon:
Press and hold the polygon tool without releasing the mouse. Then, you can increase or decrease the number of edges by pressing the arrow key up or down ..
Addition: the up and down keys are a special feature in AI. A lot of use, you need to pay attention everywhere, you can find that you can increase or decrease the number of tables, rounded corner can change the size... And so on.
Vertical mode of Text Tools
When you select a text tool, click SHIFT to enter the tool vertically.
Tips:
When the aifile is used in the font display box and the replaceable font list box, right-click the font name to show the first few words in the file, which makes it easier to find and confirm.
In AI, the text is gradient when the curve is not transferred:
Text that is not converted into curves in AI cannot be filled with gradient. Use the following methods.
1. First enter the words you want
2. Apply the word to the default style in the graphic style. Remember that it is the first style default in the graphic style, instead of other styles.
3. Then, change the stroke in the font to none. On this basis, you can apply the gradient and edit the font.
You can also: After the words are typed, make another gradient and define the gradient fill as a graphic style,
Select the text to fill in the gradient, and then apply the graphic style just defined.
Another way is to fill the gradient with the appearance of the character. The method is to add the character, click the triangle drop-down menu on the appearance panel of the word, and select Add New fill, then apply the gradient.
Cancel selection
To cancel the selection, click it on the page. In fact, you can cancel the selection by pressing ctrl + shift +.
Padding adjustment
Scale down from alt + direction key
Shift spacing alt + direction keys
How to draw a page size box
1. Image> crop area> Create
2. Release the image> crop area>
Get a box of the same size as the page
(A) toolbox (if multiple tools share one shortcut key, you can press Shift to add this shortcut key at the same time. When you press CapsLock, you can directly use this shortcut key to switch)
All right, the above information is the detailed vector design software skills used by the users of this software of Illustrator, users now see this. I believe that you are very clear about it. I hope the tips above will help you.
