    Illustrator Distort & Transform

    I've used the polygon tool to draw a nice little pentagon & used the pucker & bloat tool to turn it into a flower-ish shape. But, on the tutorial I was watching, a hexagon was used & their flower was completely regular (all petals the same size). Mine isn't, the bottom one's are bigger than the...

    Illustrator Specific length & angle of path

    Thanks for the responses. ALB, I only get the option to set width & height -not angle. Do I need to change the settings on my toolbar? I eventually managed to draw a lovely pentagon with the line tool thanks Hawkeye. I then had an absolute nightmare trying to get handles on it to reshape it (I...

    Illustrator Specific length & angle of path

    I finally have a computer again & now have CS6 :cheesygrin: so I'm trying to re-learn what I learnt before & ideally some new stuff too but I think I may be being very dense. I can't for the life of me work out how to draw a path of a specific length at a specific angle..... What I want to do...

    Illustrator Can't add anchor points

    Ummm, I'm beginning to think CS1 doesn't have copy merge............. Would I be correct with that assumption or am I just being really dumb & missing it? Thanks!

    Illustrator Can't add anchor points

    Thanks for the help -I've worked out the basic way: Fill my shapes, merge, then unfill them but I am curious as to some of the bits you're mentioning Clare as it might make my life easier in the future!!! First, what do you mean by workpath? Second, working with layers. I'm aware of them & can...

    Illustrator Can't add anchor points

    I've done a lovely drawing with lots of overlapping ellipses & I now want to join them up properly & delete the overlapping bits. To do this, I'm trying to add anchor points where they overlap but I keep getting told to use the anchor point tool on a segment of path. Errr, I am aren't I? What...

    Illustrator How do I stop my shapes from vanishing?

    Please don't laugh, I'm sure this is pretty basic but I can't seem to work it out!! I've drawn a number of shapes on a single layer. Sometimes I can see more of them, sometimes none. I want to be able to see all the shapes I've drawn! Drawing ellipses too -how do you draw 2 in a row? I draw...

    Illustrator Joining up copied & pasted shapes

    Awesome, I've managed to get that bit sorted :thumbsup: Now a little more complicated! I've got my lovely repeating pattern along the top side of what will be a square. I've drawn a straight line for the right hand side of the square. I managed to select the whole top pattern & flip it but...

    Illustrator Joining up copied & pasted shapes

    Would I be correct in assuming that if my measurements are in millimeters & I type -2 then it would move 2mm left or 2 for 2mm right? Thanks

    Illustrator Joining up copied & pasted shapes

    I'm doing it for a laser ALB. My friend uses Illustrator for his but I can ask him about Corel. Any tips would be gratefully received!! Most of the stuff I want to do is going to be pretty small & detailed. Have you done anything with angled cuts? (starting with a shallow cut into the material...

    Illustrator Joining up copied & pasted shapes

    Hiya, Please be nice, I first got my mouse on Illustrator about an hour ago so I know nothing. Literally!! I have been using google to so I don't have to use up all goodwill but I think I'm still so basic I don't understand the terms being used :frown: I've managed to draw a few lines joined...

    The blonde one sneaking in!

    Hello!!! I'm afraid I'm a complete & utter newbie to Illustrator. I've just gotten started on CS1 (I know well out of date...) & have successfully drawn a box :rocker: I know my way round stuff like Excel & Access very well but have no experience with any drawing software, well, apart from Paint...
