Thank you! (I also like the frershness of you doing it in real time. You have jiust saved me hours or frustration with aligning points. Most important though is generating palettes I'm in the middle of a big project requiring that colors across multiple images be consistent but varied. No more recreating color swatches be hand, (though that is also fun).

AWESOME Tutorial!!!! 1) I have to export a lot of Solidworks drawings into Illustrator (I export them as .DFX files). when the drawings come over the lines are broken up into a ton of tiny little segments... is there any way to join the lines so that they are not so broken up? 2) How did you create that grid and center all those icons? Did you make a table like in InDesign? That was super cool how you were able to scale all those icons from the center of each square. Would love to see a tutorial on how that was created.

@timz9862 4 месяца назад
I’ve been hacking Illustrator to try to get it to do what I want it to do for 30 years. I really miss Macromedia Freehand and hate Adobe for killing that app. I STILL don’t understand the point of having two different selection arrow tools. Freehand could let you do everything with one selection tool. I could work so much faster in that app.
@terencegibbins3894
@terencegibbins3894 4 месяца назад
Yes, really salient and very relevant points raised here. I also miss Macromedia Freehand so very much, but adapted to Adobe Illustrator because I had to. This video is brilliant though:)😊
@JerryN7970
@JerryN7970 Месяц назад
Here’s the quickest explanation I can give for the 3 arrows. - The Selection tool (black arrow) selects an entire object or group of objects as a whole. - The Direct Selection tool (white arrow) selects individual anchor points or the line between anchor points - The Group Selection tool (white arrow with the plus sign) selects individual objects out of a group or compound path. A tip for using them is no matter which of the arrows you are on, you can quickly toggle between all 3 on the fly by pressing the cmd/ctrl key and/or the option/alt key and/or shift key. I don’t remember what or how, I’m often blindly hitting those keys (or a combination of them) until the right tool comes up. But it’s quicker than going up and selecting the other tools every time.
@timz9862
@timz9862 Месяц назад
@@JerryN7970 Yes, I know what they do, but I don’t understand the point of them. FreeHand did everything with one selection tool by holding down modifier keys. You should be able to toggle the selection tool you need and automatically have it switch back to the main selection tool when you let go of the modifier key. FreeHand did that back in the 90s. Illustrator still doesn’t.
@Mustekaa
@Mustekaa 4 месяца назад
This video is so helpful thanks. And also I have a question, is there a way for me to resize things without holding down shift and maintain proportions like in the photoshop? I did a lot of research for this but couldn't find any settings for it, is it possible? Thanks in advance.
@ForeverDansky
@ForeverDansky 4 месяца назад
You’re welcome ☺️ Ah no afraid not, pretty sure Illustrator requires a Shift key press, and doesn’t have a toggle option in the settings.

Hi Dan, I have a problem exporting as an SVG file in Illustrator and Photoshop too. I have 2 text layers, the back text is colored and the front text is black and they are overlapping each other. Unfortunately, the Cricut Design Space will not be able to handle the svg file properly, due to the overlapping problem. I tried to unite them before the export but then the colored text will be changed to black. Do you have any idea, how can I unite them without losing the colored text and save it as an SVG file properly? Thank you so much for your help.

"Math ugh..." Why not "Math YEAH!!!"? Vector is the epitome of math. All good design is based on math. Golden ratio, composition, proportion, alignment, space, rotation, rhythm, pattern, shape, value, colors, etc. That "feeling" that designers have when they create stuff. That's your brain doing math subconsciously. Math is the language of the universe, you cannot escape it. There's nothing to be afraid of. Embrace and submit to it instead.
