Note
An ellipse is not a Live Shape like a rectangle or rounded rectangle, so
you will see “No Shape Properties” in the Transform panel.
4.
Select the Selection tool ( ), and in the Transform panel, ensure that the Constrain
Width And Height Proportions is turned off. Change the Width to
1.35 in
and the
Height to
1.2 in
.
5.
Choose View > Hide Bounding Box.
The bounding box, as you saw in previous lessons, allows you to transform the
shape. With the bounding box not showing, you can drag the shape by an edge or
an anchor point without transforming it.
6.
Choose View > Smart Guides to turn them back on.
7.
Click and drag the ellipse by the anchor point at the very top of the shape to the
center, bottom of the smaller rounded rectangle. Release the mouse button when
the ellipse snaps. Don't worry about the position of your larger rectangle toward
the bottom of the artboard. You'll position that later on.
