The number of times I've needed to figure out how to do a specific thing for a specific job I'm working on, and when I research it, I'm lead to this channel... At this point I just expect this channel to be the one that solve my problem. Thank you for your help. Cheers.

If you want to be able to edit the copies or "illusions" you made with the transform tool, go to "edit" , "expand appearance"

[@sillyninja65]

object< expand appearance

[@colefemo]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the straightforward and educational video!

[@designtarifi]

You teach the lesson as a great teacher who knows all the details, thx a lot ...

[@LoganPinney]

It took me days to actually finish watching this video because I got to excited to try your tricks! I'd getb2 or 3 min in and then spend then next 3 hrs making a geometric animal using GLOBAL EDIT - wow amazing amazing amazing tip that I did not know. Fantastic video and art my friend 😁

[@YesImaDesigner]

Logan Pinney Awesome, glad you found it so inspiring 😀 tag us in your work when sharing it with #yesimadesigner so we can feature it!

[@danielkitura]

Thanks for this video, great work as always! And by the way, 6:45 I just figured out a bit quicker way to toggle Preview checkbox: just press Alt + P, while in that window (actually, guess you can do it in any window that has Preview checkbox)

[@ang2733]

Can also use Reflect or Rotate, choose angle, copy and then Command D your copies

I watched this last year- but I wasn't at that point yet. Now, I get it and am super excited to do some work.

Awesome features! Many thanks!

Great series! Would love to see what you come up with from Perspective and Perspective Selection tools.

[@d.o.nmuzic3802]

Just what I needed to see. By the way, your udemy illustrator masterclass is great. You cover so much. But a love the clarity and pace you teach at. I plan to do the photoshop master class afterwards. And probably all the others you have because I dig your teaching style. Thank you 💪🏾🙏

[@YesImaDesigner]

D.O.N MUZIC great to hear you dig my courses and you can expect plenty more coming this year 😉

[@koushikmeher5984]

Yeah me too attending the same..its simply awesome, learnt many things

Even this content almost one year ago, but still interesting to watch and learn. Its great presentation and how you explain very clearly. Good job 👍

WOW! Your tutorials are always amazing.

[@gail5661]

ik this is an old video, i swear ive used the transform method before and had no problems, but this time i can't actually get the objects im drawing to reflect relative to my line of symmetry. in order to do it like in your video i have to use the "move horizontal" slider in the transform box and set it to like -0.23 in

[@hrdyplesoun]

So cool feature, thank you for showing us. I should try to use it on my logo designs :)

[@DjRobone]

So once I have created my symmetrical shape, how do I turn it into an object? Do i just expand the appereance? I am about to find out.

[@ДмитроІваненко-к4ю]

Thank you, man, that was really helpful! 🔥

[@Anonim-kw6lh]

Thank you for such helpful technic, but i am having problem, there is still small gap in the middle using the transform reflect. Please help sir.

[@Kartenhouse]

Transform always mirrors the stroke instead of the path itself, so probably you have rounded caps on or something like that.

[@DVTHEFOX]

So i've selected an entire lineart with the Selection Tool, then used the Reflect Tool, grabbed one anchor, but when i spin around it only spins what i've already made, NOT CREATING A COPY

[@TheSiavash_Music]

Thanks, it was useful for me!

[@Pachindra]

That was soooo so so helpful thank you! :)

[@stephaniebryan9398]

Great tips, thanks! Question: once you've used the global edit, is it best practice to join the reflection into a single object for fill capability? I would like to use the global edit for a symmetrical object creation but I need a fillable path in the end, would love to hear your thoughts on the cleanest method to do that. Thank you!

You're my favorite to watch tutorials from! How was Pixar? They're my dream job.

[@YesImaDesigner]

Anthony Hulett I'm glad you like my videos. Pixar was amazing, I didn't work for them directly but through an agency where I was a designer at the time. But I was on a Skype call once with John Lasseter, where he was reviewing my work which was awesome 😎

[@anthonyhulett4428]

@@YesImaDesigner that's still awesome! I wrote Pixar a letter back in high school when I was learning 3D design. I got a response letter that said my name, that was enough but I also got Pixar stickers! Looking forward to new videos!

[@complainergamer]

What if you wanted to select each section separately? I am doing just a vertical symmetry and want to select all to see the path for both sides/sections. Basically group it into one. Thanks

[@riadhossen1147]

Just now i've seen your 3/4 tutorial, that's amazing. Really appreciable. I request you to, please make some tutorial though New graphic designer may get some idea for new work or for clients. From Bangladesh 🙂

[@OrionGarcia]

so how does one align (center) a transformed group to the artboard?

[@Kaushipathirana]

thanks a lot. 👋👌👌👌👌👌

[@romeofang2997]

Nice tutorial! Thank you! I would like to ask you a question about courses! Do the other courses that need to be paid have captions? I can learn faster and better if the courses have captions!

[@YesImaDesigner]

Yes, most of our courses have English subtitles.

[@Kartenhouse]

Hi there, thanks so much for the helpful tutorial! I was running into an issue with the transform effect though, that is pretty annoying. Assume you have a star shaped path with a straight line down on the right. When I use the transform effect to mirror it to the right side, Illustrator always assumes the outline for mirroring, instead of the path itself. Hence it doesn't place the mirrored path at the same spot as the original, but offset so that you end up with a star that has an inner line that's (visually speaking) way thicker than the other lines of the shape. Is there a way to tell Illustrator the path instead of the stroke?

[@Nalenna]

I don't think it's possible, but I have a workaround for that. I simply make a horizontal and vertical line centered to my artboard (both should be at least the size of the artboard) BEFORE making the reflection effect. One line will act as a visual reminder of my mirror axis - I keep this visible but locked. The other will just be a technical addition to make sure my artwork can go over the axis and still be centered - I hide and lock this. This way it won't matter which side you draw on or if you have lines directly on the axis, everything will appear nice and mirrored.

Sorry for the off-topic question, but may I ask where you're from? Your accent is a dead ringer for Hungarian but your name sounds Polish, so I'm both confused and linguistically intrigued. :) Great video, by the way.
