Touch workspace
In Adobe Illustrator CC (2014 release), the Touch workspace is designed for Win-
dows 8 tablets. The Touch workspace surfaces the essential tools and controls for
drawing and editing with a pressure sensitive pen and multi-touch gestures.
You can create logos, icons, explore custom lettering and typography, create UI
wireframes, and more. The Touch workspace brings traditional drawing tem-
plates, French curves, to the Illustrator workspace. These shapes project a scal-
able, movable outline that can be traced against to quickly create refined curves.
At any time (on a supported device), you can immediately switch between the
Touch and traditional workspaces to access the full range of Illustrator tools and
controls. For more information on working with touch devices and Illustrator visit
Help (Help > Illustrator Help).
On touch devices (a Direct touch device [a touchscreen device], or an Indirect
touch device [the Trackpad on a Mac computer], touchpads, or the Wacom Intu-
os5 device), you can also use standard touch gestures (pinch and swipe) for:
•
Pinch in or out, using two fingers (like the thumb and forefinger) to zoom.
•
Place two fingers on the document, and move the fingers together to pan within the
document.
•
Swipe or flick to navigate artboards.
•
In artboard editing mode, use two fingers to rotate the artboard by 90°.
Scrolling through a document
You can use the Hand tool ( ) to pan to different areas of a document. Using the Hand
tool allows you to push the document around much like you would a piece of paper on your
desk.
