More shaping tools
In addition to the Shape tool , the Shape edit flyout
includes tools that provide creative options for refining vector
objects.
The Smooth tool lets you smooth curved objects to
remove jagged edges and reduce the number of nodes. The
Smear and Smudge tools let you shape an object by
pulling extensions or making indents along its outline.
The Twirl tool lets you click an object and hold to apply a
twirl effect. The Attract and Repel tools let you shape
objects by pulling nodes together or by pushing nodes apart.
The Roughen tool lets you drag along an object’s edge to
apply a jagged or spiked effect.
For each tool, the property bar controls let you set the size of
the brush nib and the intensity of the effect.
Convert objects to curves
Objects created with shape tools like the Rectangle tool
and the Ellipse tool must be converted to curves (Object
Convert to Curves, or Ctrl + Q) before you can edit
individual nodes. One exception to this rule are objects
created with the Polygon tool .
Shape lines and curves
You can shape curve and line objects by manipulating their
nodes and segments with the Shape tool , and by adding
and deleting nodes.
To add a node, double-click on the path, or click on the
path and then click the Add nodes button on the
property bar.
To delete a node, double-click the node, or select the
node and then click the Delete nodes button on the
property bar.
To reduce the number of nodes, marquee select them
with the Shape tool , and click Reduce nodes on the
property bar.
Effects
You can create the illusion of three-dimensional depth in
objects by adding contour, drop shadow, or bevel effects.
Contour
You can contour an object to create a series of
concentric lines that progress to the inside or
outside of the object.
To apply a contour, select an object, click
Effects
Contour, choose the settings you want in the
Contour docker, and click Apply.
Drop shadow
Drop shadows simulate light falling on an
object from one of five particular
perspectives: flat, right, left, bottom, and
top. When you add a drop shadow, you
can change its perspective, and you can
adjust attributes such as color, opacity,
fade level, angle, and feathering.
To apply a drop shadow, select an object, click the Drop
shadow tool , and drag from the center of the object.
Specify any attributes on the property bar.
Bevel effect
A bevel effect (Effects Bevel) adds 3D depth to a graphic or
text object by making its edges appear sloped. Bevel effects
can contain both spot and process (CMYK) colors, so they are
ideal for printing. The Emboss bevel style makes an object
appear as a relief. The Soft Edge style creates surfaces that
appear shaded in some areas.
