- Two workflows in AI
- Path of logic and order
- Watch what you are doing
- Organize the document up front
- Having fun with the journey
- Don’t watch what you are doing logically
- End up with complicated document in one layer
- Path of logic and order
- Layers → Properties → Flatten Artwork
- Flatten all layers
- Cool!
- In the Layer panel you can expand that layer to show all of the objects that live inside of it
- Groups are containers so they are expandable
- If you aggressively utilize Groups for all of you Objects then even if you did place everything in one layer you can easily pull out group(s) of objects into a new layer.
- For each layer you choose a color of the bounding box for when you select something in that layer
- This helps you make sense of making selections in a multi-layer document
- When you make selections in one layer a little filled square appears on the right side of the layer. If you drag that box into a another layer that will move those objects into that layer.
- Paste-in-place → many uses
- Cannot wait to set up the keyboard using AI
