00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:02.03

- [Voiceover] In this movie

I'll show you how can repeat



2

00:00:02.03 --> 00:00:06.03

the last applied pathfinder

operation both using a command



3

00:00:06.03 --> 00:00:08.01

and from the keyboard.



4

00:00:08.01 --> 00:00:10.01

So for example, let's say

I go ahead and marquee



5

00:00:10.01 --> 00:00:11.09

these two shapes right there.



6

00:00:11.09 --> 00:00:13.06

And then I go over to the pathfinder panel



7

00:00:13.06 --> 00:00:16.04

and click on the first

icon in the first row



8

00:00:16.04 --> 00:00:18.08

in order to unite those shapes.



9

00:00:18.08 --> 00:00:21.05

Alright now I wanna repeat

that pathfinder operation



10

00:00:21.05 --> 00:00:24.09

by marqueeing these paths and

then going to the fly up menu



11

00:00:24.09 --> 00:00:28.05

icon in the top right corner

of the pathfinder panel



12

00:00:28.05 --> 00:00:30.08

and choosing repeat add.



13

00:00:30.08 --> 00:00:34.07

In which case I will repeat

that last supplied operation.



14

00:00:34.07 --> 00:00:36.07

But that might make you

wonder why in the world



15

00:00:36.07 --> 00:00:40.03

such a command exists when

it's so much easier to



16

00:00:40.03 --> 00:00:43.08

just click on one of

these icons right here.



17

00:00:43.08 --> 00:00:46.01

And the reason is that gives

the Adobe an opportunity



18

00:00:46.01 --> 00:00:49.04

to assign a keyboard

shortcut to that command.



19

00:00:49.04 --> 00:00:52.09

And that shortcut is

CTRL+4 here on the PC,



20

00:00:52.09 --> 00:00:55.02

or command 4 on the Mac.



21

00:00:55.02 --> 00:00:57.06

And so notice if i go ahead

and marquee these paths



22

00:00:57.06 --> 00:01:00.06

right here and press CTRL+4

that's the number four,



23

00:01:00.06 --> 00:01:02.06

by the way, or command+4 on the Mac,



24

00:01:02.06 --> 00:01:05.01

I will repeat the unite operation.



25

00:01:05.01 --> 00:01:06.08

Now that's a pretty

great keyboard shortcut,



26

00:01:06.08 --> 00:01:09.02

because often times when you're applying



27

00:01:09.02 --> 00:01:11.07

a pathfinder operation you find yourself



28

00:01:11.07 --> 00:01:14.05

needing to apply it over and over again,



29

00:01:14.05 --> 00:01:17.01

but it's not particularly memorable.



30

00:01:17.01 --> 00:01:20.01

Which is why I've created this

chart of keyboard shortcuts,



31

00:01:20.01 --> 00:01:24.05

that involve numbers by default

here inside Illustrator.



32

00:01:24.05 --> 00:01:26.03

And incidentally, by the way,



33

00:01:26.03 --> 00:01:27.09

this is a new thing,



34

00:01:27.09 --> 00:01:30.06

if you end up getting

this warning right here,



35

00:01:30.06 --> 00:01:32.01

which is telling you that you don't have



36

00:01:32.01 --> 00:01:33.07

the fonts loaded on your system



37

00:01:33.07 --> 00:01:36.02

that I'm using in this

document, which by the way,



38

00:01:36.02 --> 00:01:38.07

is a font called Adobe Caslon Pro,



39

00:01:38.07 --> 00:01:41.01

then you may see this

warning that's telling you



40

00:01:41.01 --> 00:01:42.09

that the fonts are missing, in which case,



41

00:01:42.09 --> 00:01:45.08

you can just go ahead and click

on the "sync fonts" button,



42

00:01:45.08 --> 00:01:50.02

in order to load these fonts

from Typekit onto your system.



43

00:01:50.02 --> 00:01:51.07

So just an FYI.



44

00:01:51.07 --> 00:01:53.07

Anyway, I'm gonna turn that layer off,



45

00:01:53.07 --> 00:01:55.08

so that we can see what

our options are here.



46

00:01:55.08 --> 00:01:58.04

If you press CTRL+1 or

command+1 on the Mac,



47

00:01:58.04 --> 00:02:00.08

you're gonna zoom the

document to actual size



48

00:02:00.08 --> 00:02:03.03

that is the 100% view

size at which we're seeing



49

00:02:03.03 --> 00:02:05.01

this document right now.



50

00:02:05.01 --> 00:02:07.00

If you press CTRL or command two,



51

00:02:07.00 --> 00:02:09.00

you're gonna lock the selected object.



52

00:02:09.00 --> 00:02:11.09

CTRL or command three

hides the selected object.



53

00:02:11.09 --> 00:02:14.08

So for example, if I were to

click on this text right here,



54

00:02:14.08 --> 00:02:18.01

and then press CTRL+3

or command+3 on the Mac,



55

00:02:18.01 --> 00:02:19.06

that would hide the text,



56

00:02:19.06 --> 00:02:21.03

and then if I wanna bring it back,



57

00:02:21.03 --> 00:02:23.08

I could go to the object menu

and choose the "show all"



58

00:02:23.08 --> 00:02:27.00

command which has it's

own shortcut of CTRL+ALT+3



59

00:02:27.00 --> 00:02:29.07

or command+option+3 on the Mac.



60

00:02:29.07 --> 00:02:32.04

Now I'm not really suggesting

you memorize those shortcuts,



61

00:02:32.04 --> 00:02:33.08

but they are there.



62

00:02:33.08 --> 00:02:35.07

The one you probably do wanna memorize is



63

00:02:35.07 --> 00:02:38.02

CTRL+4 or command+4 on the Mac.



64

00:02:38.02 --> 00:02:40.01

Which repeats, as I said before,



65

00:02:40.01 --> 00:02:42.04

the last pathfinder operation.



66

00:02:42.04 --> 00:02:44.07

Moving right along we

have CTRL+5 or command+5,



67

00:02:44.07 --> 00:02:47.02

which converts a selection

to a custom guide.



68

00:02:47.02 --> 00:02:50.07

Then we have CTRL+6 or

command+6 which reselects.



69

00:02:50.07 --> 00:02:53.00

Now this one is a little misleading,



70

00:02:53.00 --> 00:02:55.06

because notice lets say

I just go ahead and click



71

00:02:55.06 --> 00:02:58.04

on this text right there,

and then I click off of it,



72

00:02:58.04 --> 00:03:00.09

you would expect based on

what we're seeing right here



73

00:03:00.09 --> 00:03:03.07

that I could press CTRL+6

or command+6 on the Mac,



74

00:03:03.07 --> 00:03:05.09

to reselect that text.



75

00:03:05.09 --> 00:03:07.03

But in fact it doesn't work.



76

00:03:07.03 --> 00:03:10.00

And if I were to go up to the select menu,



77

00:03:10.00 --> 00:03:11.05

you'll even see that the reselect command,



78

00:03:11.05 --> 00:03:14.04

which has that shortcut, is dimmed.



79

00:03:14.04 --> 00:03:16.04

And that's because reselect

doesn't necessarily work



80

00:03:16.04 --> 00:03:17.06

with the arrow tool.



81

00:03:17.06 --> 00:03:20.04

Instead it works with the select menu.



82

00:03:20.04 --> 00:03:22.06

So notice if I go up to the select menu,



83

00:03:22.06 --> 00:03:26.01

choose "object", and then

choose "all text objects"



84

00:03:26.01 --> 00:03:29.01

then I'm gonna select all

the text in this document.



85

00:03:29.01 --> 00:03:32.01

Now lets say I wanna

repeat that operation,



86

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:35.02

inside this document here

then I could just go ahead



87

00:03:35.02 --> 00:03:38.07

and switch to it and press

CTRL+6 or command+6 on a Mac,



88

00:03:38.07 --> 00:03:39.05

in which case,



89

00:03:39.05 --> 00:03:42.02

I'm gonna go ahead and

select all the text objects



90

00:03:42.02 --> 00:03:43.08

throughout this document.



91

00:03:43.08 --> 00:03:45.09

The same goes for

selecting similar objects



92

00:03:45.09 --> 00:03:47.04

inside Illustrator.



93

00:03:47.04 --> 00:03:51.06

And so for example, lets say

I select this green ring and



94

00:03:51.06 --> 00:03:54.02

then I go up to the select

menu, choose "same",



95

00:03:54.02 --> 00:03:56.03

and choose "appearance",



96

00:03:56.03 --> 00:03:58.04

at which point I'm going to

select all the path outlines



97

00:03:58.04 --> 00:04:01.05

that have the same green fill and stroke



98

00:04:01.05 --> 00:04:03.02

as we're seeing here.



99

00:04:03.02 --> 00:04:04.08

Then I could go ahead and click on one of



100

00:04:04.08 --> 00:04:08.00

these purple squares right

there and press CTRL+6



101

00:04:08.00 --> 00:04:11.06

or command+6 on a Mac, and

that's gonna go ahead and select



102

00:04:11.06 --> 00:04:14.05

all the shapes that share

that same combination



103

00:04:14.05 --> 00:04:17.00

of fill and stroke.



104

00:04:17.00 --> 00:04:19.08

Alright that leaves us with

just a few more shortcuts here.



105

00:04:19.08 --> 00:04:22.07

If you press CTRL+7 or command+7 on a Mac,



106

00:04:22.07 --> 00:04:25.03

you'll convert an object

to a clipping mask,



107

00:04:25.03 --> 00:04:26.03

and we're gonna be reviewing exactly



108

00:04:26.03 --> 00:04:29.01

how clipping masks work in detail



109

00:04:29.01 --> 00:04:32.09

in the upcoming chapter

in this very course.



110

00:04:32.09 --> 00:04:35.03

Meanwhile if you press

CTRL+8 or command+8,



111

00:04:35.03 --> 00:04:37.07

you'll convert your

shapes to a compound path,



112

00:04:37.07 --> 00:04:39.09

as we saw in a previous movie.



113

00:04:39.09 --> 00:04:43.07

CTRL+9 or command+9 is the only

numerical keyboard shortcut



114

00:04:43.07 --> 00:04:47.05

that is not assigned by

default inside Illustrator,



115

00:04:47.05 --> 00:04:50.01

but if along the way there

turns out to be a command



116

00:04:50.01 --> 00:04:53.00

that you really love and you

want to assign CTRL or command



117

00:04:53.00 --> 00:04:56.02

nine to it, then you can do

so by going to the edit menu,



118

00:04:56.02 --> 00:04:59.02

and choosing the keyboard

shortcuts command.



119

00:04:59.02 --> 00:05:02.06

And then finally we've got

CTRL+0 or command+0 on the Mac,



120

00:05:02.06 --> 00:05:05.01

which fits the artboard inside the window,



121

00:05:05.01 --> 00:05:06.06

and of course we can see that work



122

00:05:06.06 --> 00:05:08.06

just by switching to the other document



123

00:05:08.06 --> 00:05:12.00

and first person control+1

or command+1 on the Mac,



124

00:05:12.00 --> 00:05:15.01

in order to zoom the document

to the 100% view size,



125

00:05:15.01 --> 00:05:17.07

which ends up making it

pretty tiny on this screen.



126

00:05:17.07 --> 00:05:20.09

Or I could press CTRL+0

or command+0 on the Mac,



127

00:05:20.09 --> 00:05:22.04

in order to zoom the artboard



128

00:05:22.04 --> 00:05:24.07

so it fits inside the document window.



129

00:05:24.07 --> 00:05:28.00

And so that's how you repeat

the last pathfinder operation,



130

00:05:28.00 --> 00:05:31.09

that is to say by pressing

CTRL+4 or command+4 on the Mac,



131

00:05:31.09 --> 00:05:33.04

as well as how you take advantage



132

00:05:33.04 --> 00:05:36.00

of all of the other

numerical keyboard shortcuts



133

00:05:36.00 --> 00:05:38.00

here inside Illustrator.
