The Group Selection tool in the Direction Selection tearoff appears as a white arrow with a plus sign. If the object has a fill, you can click on that as well. To select an object or group with the Selection tool, just click on the path. With the Direct Selection tool you can select individual anchor points, path segments, or entire objects. The Selection tool is used for selecting entire paths and groups of objects. Or, you can use the Lasso tool to select multiple anchors by drawing a marquee around a section of an object or objects. If you want to select a set of anchors, you can use the Direct Selection tool for that as well-Shift-click on anchors to select them.Clicking on an object fill with the Direct Selection tool selects the whole object.Shift-click with the Direct Selection tool to select additional path segments.You can select path segments by clicking on (or within three pixels of) the segment with the Direct Selection tool. You can select either an anchor or a path segment to reshape an object. You can select and edit an entire path when you want to copy, move, or resize the path. Illustrator paths are made up of anchors with path segments connecting them.
#Iilustrator cs4 how to#
I'll also provide a basic overview for how to use Illustrator's powerful Pathfinder tools, which combine and divide combinations of paths in just about every conceivable way. In this chapter, I'll show you how to use all these selection and editing techniques. This means, for example, that you can vertically align a group of selected anchors so they are all on a horizontal plane. Illustrator CS4 also allows you to align anchors. Selecting objects within groups has always been a bit sticky in Illustrator, but CS4 has a group isolation feature that makes this process easier. You can also group more than one path and edit the group as you would an individual object. Or, you can select a path segment-the section of the path between two anchors-select just some path segments, or select a set of anchors. You can select an entire path and reshape, rescale, rotate, skew, or distort it, and so on. And so, appropriately, there are all kinds of ways to select and edit paths in Illustrator.
