Hi Heather. Thank you so much. This is very helpful. Do you have a tutorial on how to do the editing of smoothing the part you erased? I'm not sure how to do that

[@LoBoDesigns]

Sorry for the delay! Catching up after a couple weeks of traveling! Please let me know if you still need help with this!

[@gr8bskt]

I was looking for this exact information. Awesome tutorial - thank you! 🎉

Thanks Heather! Great video!You're almost convincing me to buy an iPad! Blessings!!!

[@LoBoDesigns]

Thanks, Joe! While I have you here... 😆 I'm looking for suggestions on what my next AI for Desktop tutorials should be. Is there anything I haven't done yet that you'd want to see? Lmk! 😎

[@joegutierrez4197]

@@LoBoDesigns I know I have a problem that I'm sure you'd be able to explain. When I use the either the pen tool or line segment tool, when I send it to my laser, it shows up as two lines and my laser automatically runs two passes. Maybe...pen tool & line segments for dummies?!?! Thanks!! You're awesome!!!

This is awesome! So glad I found your channel. I have a question, I want to divide my text/word into three portions so I can cut it on my glowforge aura. Is this possible on the ipad? I am fairly new and have not been able to find a way to do this. Can you help with this?

[@LoBoDesigns]

Thanks for watching! I'm actually not sure since I mostly use the Desktop version of AI, but I'll check it out for ya this week and confirm for you! If it's possible I'll create a tutorial for it. 🫶🏻

Great video but can you tell me how you can stretch the letters on illustrator on the ipad please?

[@LoBoDesigns]

When you say stretch, do you want to warp the design or keep it at-scale and make it larger?

[@iandykes5411]

warp it so for example the letter A you could stretch one side of the letter so it would be longer?@@LoBoDesigns

[@rubiadegalilea]

Thank you soooo much❤

[@LoBoDesigns]

Thank you for watching! Happy to help!

[@rajnavukov111]

I did everything the same as you did and then in the end I couldn’t click create stroke outline. Idk why

[@LoBoDesigns]

Try going up into Object > Expand, if the outline isn't working! You may need to do that step twice if you've edited the font stroke at all.

This is indeed helpful, thank you very much!🤎✨️

[@LoBoDesigns]

Thanks for watching!

Please how to enlarge the keyboard ?

[@LoBoDesigns]

Hi! It's based on what you use to tap on the keyboard icon. If you tap on the keyboard icon with your Apple Pencil/stylus, it will open the small keyboard. If you tap on the keyboard icon with your fingertip, you'll get the larger one!

[@gr8bskt]

Hi, Heather! Do font glyphs work with Illustrator for ipad?

[@LoBoDesigns]

Hello! Glyphs are currently not supported in the iPad version, however, they are supported in Affinity Designer for iPad if you need that functionality!

[@gr8bskt]

@@LoBoDesigns Well, shucks. Thank you; I appreciate your reply! :)

[@LoBoDesigns]

Happy to help! 💛

Hi, can you please make a video on this? when I add a stroke of 3 points to make my letters thick and my letters are 1.5 inches the circle on the letter e for example despairs due to the stroke how can I fix this?

[@LoBoDesigns]

Hello! Sorry for the delay here! Not sure I entirely understand what is happening. Are you losing the stroke thickness after it's being added? If so, it's possible that you're missing the step to expand that stroke. Feel free to PM me on FB/IG or send me an email, if it's easier! [e-mail]
