How to Control Shapes by Different Movements
in this lesson using selection tool and direct selection tool with option key. I will show you how to duplicate shapes to create patterns and complex shapes. For example, 1st I will use ellipse tool to create a circle Using the selection tool and select this shape instead moving to the side by holding down shift and option key by holding the shift key. I can't move the shape to the side without shifting the height. Also by holding the option key. I could make a duplicate of the original shape and then go to object menu transform again function. This will repeat the exact process of what I just did. Dysfunction. It's very useful to create simple repetitive patterns. Now let's look at this example using the rectangle tool, create random size square and I use the direct selection tool and holding down the option key and move one of the corner to this direction. Then I am not only move in the corner but I keep original square shape and this is the only duplicate portion of the square. If I...
do it the same way on the other side again just moving one side of the corner, holding the option key. If you're using Windows, it's the old key. Then I came edit the shape more complex way. So in this lesson I use selection tool and the option key to create duplicates and using command D. Which is object menu transform again dysfunction. If you are using Windows, it's a control D. Using this function to repeat the process and that is very useful to create this kind of simple repetitive patterns. Also, same principle applies to direct selection tool, so using the selection tool and direct selection tool with option key, will give us more options to edit and create rather complex shapes.
