Chapter 4 Flashcards
place where all transformation are executed in relation to a fixed point
Point of origin
click transformation tool and click and drag anywhere on the artboard, double click for transformation tool, click transformation tool and click artboard, click transform tool press alt and then the artboard.
4 ways to make transformations
applies an eight handled bounding box to selected image
free transform
displays info about the size, orientation and location of one or more selected objects
Transform panel
indicate objects horizontal (x) and vertical (Y) locations on artboard
X and Y coordinates
hidden behind scale tool-shears at an angle
shear tool
refers to object that share the same center point
Concentric
converts a stroked path into a closed path that is same width as the original stroked path
Outline stroke command
two or more paths that are combined in such a way that “holes” appear where ever it overlaps
compound shape
group of present operations that help you combine paths in a variety of ways
pathfinders
converts two or more overlapping objects into a single merged object
add to shape area
where objects overlap
subtract from shape area
creates a single merged object from the area where two or more objects overlap
intersect shape area
the opposite of Subtract: deletes the backmost object from the frontmost object
minus back
divides an object into its component filled faces
divide
when you change an objects size, shape, or position on the artboard
transforming
rotate, scale, reflect, shear, and free transform tools
transformation tools
flips object across axis- good for tracing symmetrical object like a spoon
reflect
skews or distorts an object - good for depth
shear
good for transforming multiple objects individually
transform each
creates a copy of a selected path set off by a specified distance
offset Path command
good for creating complex or irregular shapes from basic shapes
pathfinders
offers a quick and simple solution for aligning selected objects along the axis you specify
align panel
in object menu: window through which you view some or all of the objects behind the mask in stacking order- like putting a picture inside text
