• For Star Inset, type a percentage value to specify the length of a star’s spikes. The tips of the spikes touch the outer

edge of the polygon’s bounding box, and the percentage determines the depth of the depression between each

spike. Higher percentages create longer, thinner spikes.

Note: Polygon settings apply only to the next polygon you draw; you cannot apply them to a polygon you’ve already

created.

Change the shape of a path automatically

You can convert any path into a predefined shape. For example, you can convert a rectangle to a triangle. The stroke

settings for the original path remain the same for the new path. If the new path is a polygon, its shape is based on the

options in the Polygon Settings dialog box. If the new path has a corner effect, its radius size is based on the size

setting in the Corner Options dialog box.

1 Select the path.

2 Do any of the following:

• Choose Object > Convert Shape > [new shape].

• In the Pathfinder panel (Window > Object & Layout > Pathfinder), click a shape button in the Convert Shape area.

Drawing with the Pencil tool

Draw with the Pencil tool

The Pencil tool works primarily the same way in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. It lets you draw open and closed

paths as if you were drawing with a pencil on paper. It is most useful for fast sketching or creating a hand-drawn look.

Once you draw a path, you can immediately change it if needed.

Anchor points are set down as you draw with the Pencil tool; you do not determine where they are positioned.

However, you can adjust them once the path is complete. The number of anchor points set down is determined by

the length and complexity of the path and by tolerance settings in the Pencil Tool Preferences dialog box. These

settings control how sensitive the Pencil tool is to the movement of your mouse or graphics-tablet stylus.

For a video on drawing with the Pencil tool in Illustrator, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0039.

Draw freeform paths with the Pencil tool

Select the Pencil tool .

2 Position the tool where you want the path to begin, and drag to draw a path. The Pencil tool displays a small

x to indicate drawing a freeform path.

As you drag, a dotted line follows the pointer. Anchor points appear at both ends of the path and at various points

along it. The path takes on the current stroke and fill attributes, and remains selected by default.

Draw closed paths with the Pencil tool

Select the Pencil tool.

2 Position the tool where you want the path to begin, and start dragging to draw a path.

3 After you’ve begun dragging, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS). The Pencil tool displays a small

circle (and, in InDesign, a solid eraser) to indicate that you’re creating a closed path.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
