2 Targeting for the Transform effect.
In order for the Transform effect to duplicate art
to other artboards as new objects are added to it, all the art has to be within a mas-
ter layer, and the master layer itself must be targeted. Once an effect is properly ap-
plied to a targeted master layer, any objects added to the layers within will automat-
ically inherit that effect (see the warning Tip
Getting targeted to move
).

3 Applying the Transform effect.
With the layer targeted, Wigham clicked the
fx
icon
at the bottom of the Appearance panel and chose Distort & Transform> Transform.
Wigham anchored the transformation reference point to the upper left corner (an
easy reference point to work from), set the distance for the move and the amount to
scale it by (300%), and entered 1 for copies. To check everything was working
properly for the transform, she enabled Preview. Once Wigham saw that her
artwork du-plicated and scaled properly, she clicked OK.
