Keyboard shortcuts
Illustrator lets you assign keyboard shortcuts for many operations. e
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box serves as a shortcut editor, and includes all
commands that support shortcuts, some of which aren’t in the default shortcut
set. Shortcuts for tools are also shown in the knowhow palette. For a list of
keyboard shortcuts, see page 44.
Preferences
Before you begin creating artwork with Illustrator, familiarize yourself with the
programs default settings—specically the options available in the Preferences
dialog box (choose Illustrator > Preferences > General in Mac OS or choose
Edit > Preferences > General in Windows). You can customize these settings
to suit your needs, creating a work environment thats both productive and
comfortable. As you look through the panes in the Preferences dialog box, you’ll
see that many of the options are identical to those in FreeHand. You’ll also nd
several unfamiliar but useful options, such as the option to use the clipboard to
transfer selections between an Illustrator le and other Adobe applications.
e clipboard is particularly useful for moving paths from one application
to another because paths are copied to the clipboard as PostScript language
descriptions. Artwork copied to the clipboard is pasted in PICT format in
