Did You Know?
You can measure the distance between objects.
Select the Measure
tool in the Tools panel, and then click two points, or click the first
point and drag to the second point. Use Shift-drag to constrain the tool
to multiples of 45 degrees. The Info panel displays the distances from
the x and y axes, the absolute horizontal and vertical distances, the
total distances, and the angle measured.
Using Undo and Redo
Probably one of the greatest inventions of the computer industry is the ability to Undo,
and Redo. Now, if we could just figure out how to give real life an undo feature... that
would be something. Illustrator gives us the ability to undo our past mistakes, and redo
something we wished we had not undone.
