1
00:00:00.07 --> 00:00:03.01
- In this movie, we'll create
this right-hand smoke stack,

2
00:00:03.01 --> 00:00:05.09
using a command known as Move.

3
00:00:05.09 --> 00:00:07.07
I'll go ahead and switch over to the

4
00:00:07.07 --> 00:00:09.02
document in progress here,

5
00:00:09.02 --> 00:00:10.07
and I want to start things off by

6
00:00:10.07 --> 00:00:13.08
duplicating this right-most vertical line.

7
00:00:13.08 --> 00:00:15.07
To select that entire line,

8
00:00:15.07 --> 00:00:17.09
I'll go ahead and switch
to the Black Arrow Tool,

9
00:00:17.09 --> 00:00:21.00
which also has an arrow-like
keyboard shortcut.

10
00:00:21.00 --> 00:00:22.07
Whereas the White Arrow Tool has

11
00:00:22.07 --> 00:00:25.00
a very straightforward keyboard shortcut,

12
00:00:25.00 --> 00:00:27.09
of A for Arrow, the Black Arrow Tool

13
00:00:27.09 --> 00:00:32.06
has a keyboard shortcut of
V for Upside-down Arrow.

14
00:00:32.06 --> 00:00:34.08
I really do suggest you memorize those,

15
00:00:34.08 --> 00:00:36.08
because you're going to be
switching back-and-forth

16
00:00:36.08 --> 00:00:39.03
between those tools all the time.

17
00:00:39.03 --> 00:00:41.08
I'll go ahead and select
that tool to make it active,

18
00:00:41.08 --> 00:00:44.03
and then I'll click on this
vertical line to select

19
00:00:44.03 --> 00:00:46.09
the entire thing, and
now what I want to do,

20
00:00:46.09 --> 00:00:50.03
is create a duplicate of this
line 10 points to the right.

21
00:00:50.03 --> 00:00:53.02
To make that happen, go
up to the Object Menu,

22
00:00:53.02 --> 00:00:56.05
choose Transform, and
choose the Move Command.

23
00:00:56.05 --> 00:00:58.05
It also has a keyboard shortcut,

24
00:00:58.05 --> 00:01:00.07
but for once I am not going to recommend

25
00:01:00.07 --> 00:01:02.00
that you memorize it,

26
00:01:02.00 --> 00:01:04.05
and I'll tell you why in just a moment.

27
00:01:04.05 --> 00:01:06.07
For now, just go ahead and
choose the Move Command,

28
00:01:06.07 --> 00:01:09.05
and notice that brings
up the Move Dialogue Box,

29
00:01:09.05 --> 00:01:12.00
which contains two position options,

30
00:01:12.00 --> 00:01:15.02
as well as Distance and Angle Values.

31
00:01:15.02 --> 00:01:18.02
You can choose which
pair of values to use,

32
00:01:18.02 --> 00:01:20.01
but generally, you're going to stick with

33
00:01:20.01 --> 00:01:21.07
the horizontal and vertical values,

34
00:01:21.07 --> 00:01:24.05
for reasons that I'll
demonstrate in just a moment.

35
00:01:24.05 --> 00:01:26.04
The first thing you want to do is,

36
00:01:26.04 --> 00:01:27.05
turn on the Preview Check Box,

37
00:01:27.05 --> 00:01:30.04
so you can preview the effect on-screen.

38
00:01:30.04 --> 00:01:33.02
Notice if I set both the
horizontal and vertical values

39
00:01:33.02 --> 00:01:36.05
to 0, I'm not going to
create any movement at all.

40
00:01:36.05 --> 00:01:39.05
If I change the horizontal
value to something negative,

41
00:01:39.05 --> 00:01:43.01
like -100, I'll move the path to the left;

42
00:01:43.01 --> 00:01:45.06
if I change it to a positive value,

43
00:01:45.06 --> 00:01:47.05
I'll move it to the right.

44
00:01:47.05 --> 00:01:50.03
If I make the vertical
values something positive,

45
00:01:50.03 --> 00:01:53.01
such as, let's say, 100 points once again,

46
00:01:53.01 --> 00:01:55.05
then I'm going to move
the selected line down.

47
00:01:55.05 --> 00:01:59.01
If I make it negative, I'm
going to move the line up.

48
00:01:59.01 --> 00:02:01.03
Notice why we don't have to worry about

49
00:02:01.03 --> 00:02:03.06
the distance and angle values, they update

50
00:02:03.06 --> 00:02:05.05
automatically on the fly.

51
00:02:05.05 --> 00:02:08.00
So, for example, if I was
to change the angle value

52
00:02:08.00 --> 00:02:10.00
to 0 degrees, that would modify

53
00:02:10.00 --> 00:02:12.02
the horizontal and vertical values.

54
00:02:12.02 --> 00:02:16.04
The top pair, effects the
bottom pair and vice-versa.

55
00:02:16.04 --> 00:02:17.08
What I'm really looking to do,

56
00:02:17.08 --> 00:02:20.01
is just to move this path over 10 points,

57
00:02:20.01 --> 00:02:23.03
so I'm going to change the
horizontal value to 10 points,

58
00:02:23.03 --> 00:02:25.02
and I'm going to leave the vertical value

59
00:02:25.02 --> 00:02:28.04
set to 0 points, and then,
instead of clicking Ok,

60
00:02:28.04 --> 00:02:30.01
which would go ahead and move the line,

61
00:02:30.01 --> 00:02:32.07
I'm going to click the
Copy button, instead,

62
00:02:32.07 --> 00:02:36.06
which will create a copy of
that path outline like so.

63
00:02:36.06 --> 00:02:41.03
Now, I want to move this
top point up 200 points,

64
00:02:41.03 --> 00:02:43.04
and because I want to select the top point

65
00:02:43.04 --> 00:02:44.06
independently of the bottom point,

66
00:02:44.06 --> 00:02:46.07
I need to switch back
to the Wide Arrow Tool,

67
00:02:46.07 --> 00:02:49.00
which, again, you get
by pressing the A key,

68
00:02:49.00 --> 00:02:51.00
and then I'll click on that top point

69
00:02:51.00 --> 00:02:53.00
to select it independently
of the bottom one,

70
00:02:53.00 --> 00:02:55.06
which now appears hollow, and now,

71
00:02:55.06 --> 00:02:57.01
I'll return to the Object Menu,

72
00:02:57.01 --> 00:02:59.05
choose Transform and
choose Move, once again,

73
00:02:59.05 --> 00:03:02.02
in order to return to
the Move Dialogue Box,

74
00:03:02.02 --> 00:03:05.04
which you'll notice is
replaying our last move.

75
00:03:05.04 --> 00:03:08.06
I am once again moving
this point 10 points

76
00:03:08.06 --> 00:03:10.04
to the right; that's not what I want,

77
00:03:10.04 --> 00:03:13.00
so I'll change the horizontal value to 0,

78
00:03:13.00 --> 00:03:14.09
and because I want to move this point

79
00:03:14.09 --> 00:03:16.02
200 points upward,

80
00:03:16.02 --> 00:03:20.01
I will change the vertical
value to -200 points.

81
00:03:20.01 --> 00:03:22.08
I know that can be confusing,
that negative is up,

82
00:03:22.08 --> 00:03:24.03
and positive is down,

83
00:03:24.03 --> 00:03:27.05
but that's the way things
work inside Illustrator.

84
00:03:27.05 --> 00:03:29.07
Notice that will go ahead
and pop that Anchor Point

85
00:03:29.07 --> 00:03:31.09
upward 200 points, at which point,

86
00:03:31.09 --> 00:03:33.08
I do not want to click Copy this time,

87
00:03:33.08 --> 00:03:37.05
I just want to click Ok in
order to move that anchor point.

88
00:03:37.05 --> 00:03:39.05
Now, I want to create a duplicate

89
00:03:39.05 --> 00:03:42.04
of that line, 100 points
over to the right,

90
00:03:42.04 --> 00:03:44.00
and to make that happen,

91
00:03:44.00 --> 00:03:46.07
I need to select the entire
thing, which I will do,

92
00:03:46.07 --> 00:03:48.08
by switching back to the Black Arrow Tool,

93
00:03:48.08 --> 00:03:50.08
which you can get by pressing the V key,

94
00:03:50.08 --> 00:03:55.02
and so, A V, A V, is something
that you're doing a lot,

95
00:03:55.02 --> 00:03:56.09
inside of Illustrator.

96
00:03:56.09 --> 00:03:58.03
Then, click on this vertical line

97
00:03:58.03 --> 00:03:59.08
to select the entire thing.

98
00:03:59.08 --> 00:04:02.02
As opposed to returning
to the Object Menu,

99
00:04:02.02 --> 00:04:04.03
choosing Transform and choosing Move,

100
00:04:04.03 --> 00:04:05.06
that is the command we want,

101
00:04:05.06 --> 00:04:08.03
but there is a much
better way to get to it.

102
00:04:08.03 --> 00:04:11.02
That's by either double-clicking
on this Tool icon,

103
00:04:11.02 --> 00:04:12.03
which you can do;

104
00:04:12.03 --> 00:04:14.03
that will bring up the Move dialogue box,

105
00:04:14.03 --> 00:04:15.08
as you can see right here.

106
00:04:15.08 --> 00:04:17.00
I'm going to cancel out,

107
00:04:17.00 --> 00:04:19.01
because there's even an easier way,

108
00:04:19.01 --> 00:04:21.01
when an arrow tool is selected,

109
00:04:21.01 --> 00:04:23.00
whether it's the Black
Arrow, or the White Arrow,

110
00:04:23.00 --> 00:04:24.06
you can get to the Move tool,

111
00:04:24.06 --> 00:04:27.07
by just pressing the
Enter key, here on the PC,

112
00:04:27.07 --> 00:04:30.01
or the Return key on the Mac.

113
00:04:30.01 --> 00:04:31.06
That's all it takes.

114
00:04:31.06 --> 00:04:34.03
This time I'm going to
change the horizontal value

115
00:04:34.03 --> 00:04:37.01
to 100, I'm going to change
the vertical value to 0,

116
00:04:37.01 --> 00:04:40.00
because I just want it to
move 100 points to the right,

117
00:04:40.00 --> 00:04:41.07
and nothing more and then I'll go ahead

118
00:04:41.07 --> 00:04:44.02
and click the Copy button,
in order to create a copy

119
00:04:44.02 --> 00:04:47.02
of that line, at the new location.

120
00:04:47.02 --> 00:04:50.00
Finally, I want to draw
a little Cap at the top

121
00:04:50.00 --> 00:04:51.02
of the smokestack,

122
00:04:51.02 --> 00:04:53.04
and I'll do that just by
selecting the Line Segment Tool

123
00:04:53.04 --> 00:04:55.02
and then dragging from the top

124
00:04:55.02 --> 00:04:57.08
of one of these lines to
the top of the other one,

125
00:04:57.08 --> 00:05:00.01
in which case you should
see a Distance Value of

126
00:05:00.01 --> 00:05:03.03
100 points and an Angle of 0 degrees,

127
00:05:03.03 --> 00:05:07.04
because after all, we're
dragging exactly to the right.

128
00:05:07.04 --> 00:05:08.09
Then go ahead and release,

129
00:05:08.09 --> 00:05:11.05
to create that horizontal line.

130
00:05:11.05 --> 00:05:14.01
That's how you duplicate
and extend straight lines

131
00:05:14.01 --> 00:05:18.00
using the Move command,
here inside of Illustrator.
