1 00:00:00.06 --> 00:00:01.05 - [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you 2 00:00:01.05 --> 00:00:06.04 how to both undo and cancel unwanted pattern modifications 3 00:00:06.04 --> 00:00:09.07 and also introduce you to a couple of additional options 4 00:00:09.07 --> 00:00:12.05 found inside the Pattern Options panel. 5 00:00:12.05 --> 00:00:14.01 But first, I want you to notice 6 00:00:14.01 --> 00:00:16.09 how the original drawing is put together. 7 00:00:16.09 --> 00:00:18.09 I'll go ahead and zoom in on it here. 8 00:00:18.09 --> 00:00:21.05 Notice that this shape as well as this one 9 00:00:21.05 --> 00:00:25.06 and these highlights up top are all slightly blurred. 10 00:00:25.06 --> 00:00:28.03 So I've applied a gaussian blur effect to them, 11 00:00:28.03 --> 00:00:31.07 and then, if I click way up here at the top, 12 00:00:31.07 --> 00:00:35.00 you can see that the main radial gradient is expressed 13 00:00:35.00 --> 00:00:36.01 as a blend. 14 00:00:36.01 --> 00:00:37.02 And you know that's the case 15 00:00:37.02 --> 00:00:38.06 because you can see the word Blend 16 00:00:38.06 --> 00:00:41.00 on the far left side of the Control panel. 17 00:00:41.00 --> 00:00:42.04 And the reason I used Blend is 18 00:00:42.04 --> 00:00:44.08 that just gave me a little extra control 19 00:00:44.08 --> 00:00:48.06 over the way the colors blended from black to this deep red 20 00:00:48.06 --> 00:00:51.06 and eventually a bright red at this inner ring, 21 00:00:51.06 --> 00:00:54.09 and then finally, we've got this outer circle right here 22 00:00:54.09 --> 00:00:58.03 that has two gradient strokes, one on top of the other 23 00:00:58.03 --> 00:01:00.05 that proceed along the stroke, 24 00:01:00.05 --> 00:01:02.03 so around the shape. 25 00:01:02.03 --> 00:01:04.02 And the reason I want you to see that is 26 00:01:04.02 --> 00:01:06.09 that none of those things are supported 27 00:01:06.09 --> 00:01:08.07 by the Pattern Editor, 28 00:01:08.07 --> 00:01:10.00 and to see what that looks like, 29 00:01:10.00 --> 00:01:12.01 I go ahead and zoom out a little bit here, 30 00:01:12.01 --> 00:01:13.06 and I'll press Control + Shift + A 31 00:01:13.06 --> 00:01:15.01 or Command + Shift + A on the Mac 32 00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:16.04 to deselect the artwork, 33 00:01:16.04 --> 00:01:19.01 and I'll go ahead and turn the pattern layer back on. 34 00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:21.06 And then I'll double-click on the house swatch 35 00:01:21.06 --> 00:01:24.03 in order to switch to the pattern editing mode, 36 00:01:24.03 --> 00:01:25.03 and I'll just go ahead 37 00:01:25.03 --> 00:01:27.06 and click on this outer ring right here, 38 00:01:27.06 --> 00:01:29.08 and notice that it is been converted 39 00:01:29.08 --> 00:01:32.07 to what's known as a gradient mesh, 40 00:01:32.07 --> 00:01:34.04 and we'll learn exactly what that means 41 00:01:34.04 --> 00:01:36.00 in the very next chapter. 42 00:01:36.00 --> 00:01:40.00 And if I click here, where the blend would normally be, 43 00:01:40.00 --> 00:01:43.03 I end up selecting a group as indicated by the word Group 44 00:01:43.03 --> 00:01:45.05 on the far left side of the Control panel 45 00:01:45.05 --> 00:01:47.09 that contains several hundreds circles. 46 00:01:47.09 --> 00:01:50.04 And then, if I were to click on the center of the eye, 47 00:01:50.04 --> 00:01:54.01 you can see that it's been converted to an embedded image, 48 00:01:54.01 --> 00:01:55.06 and a best way to discover that 49 00:01:55.06 --> 00:01:57.05 is to go up to the Object menu 50 00:01:57.05 --> 00:01:59.02 and choose the Ungroup command 51 00:01:59.02 --> 00:02:01.04 because the image gets grouped automatically, 52 00:02:01.04 --> 00:02:04.01 at which point you'll see the word Image once again 53 00:02:04.01 --> 00:02:06.05 on the far left side of the Control panel, 54 00:02:06.05 --> 00:02:07.07 and if I click on it, 55 00:02:07.07 --> 00:02:10.03 we can see that it's an embedded image. 56 00:02:10.03 --> 00:02:12.08 And I'm just going to go ahead and enlarge this panel, 57 00:02:12.08 --> 00:02:14.07 so that you can see that we end up 58 00:02:14.07 --> 00:02:17.08 with a total of five embedded images, 59 00:02:17.08 --> 00:02:20.03 where this pattern is concerned in all. 60 00:02:20.03 --> 00:02:22.05 Alright, so, I just want to make that point clear. 61 00:02:22.05 --> 00:02:24.06 It'll come up again in the very next movie, 62 00:02:24.06 --> 00:02:26.05 but for now, we're going to go ahead 63 00:02:26.05 --> 00:02:28.06 and modify this pattern a little bit. 64 00:02:28.06 --> 00:02:30.00 I'm going to zoom out, 65 00:02:30.00 --> 00:02:34.00 and notice this checkbox right here, Move Tile with Art. 66 00:02:34.00 --> 00:02:35.04 It's selected by default, 67 00:02:35.04 --> 00:02:37.04 and its job is to move this tile, 68 00:02:37.04 --> 00:02:39.05 which we can see represented in blue, 69 00:02:39.05 --> 00:02:40.06 and if you don't see it, 70 00:02:40.06 --> 00:02:44.00 make sure that the Show Tile Edge checkbox is turned on 71 00:02:44.00 --> 00:02:46.02 along with anything that you move. 72 00:02:46.02 --> 00:02:48.09 So, for example, let's say I grab this ring here, 73 00:02:48.09 --> 00:02:51.02 and I move it to a different location. 74 00:02:51.02 --> 00:02:54.04 I will not see the hexagon move, 75 00:02:54.04 --> 00:02:57.03 and the reason for that is because it only moves 76 00:02:57.03 --> 00:03:00.02 when you move all the objects in a pattern. 77 00:03:00.02 --> 00:03:02.06 So, what I would need to do is press Control + Z 78 00:03:02.06 --> 00:03:04.09 or Command + Z on the Mac to undo that move, 79 00:03:04.09 --> 00:03:05.07 and then I'll just go ahead 80 00:03:05.07 --> 00:03:08.02 and marquee all these shapes like so. 81 00:03:08.02 --> 00:03:10.04 It's a little confusing telling what's selected 82 00:03:10.04 --> 00:03:12.04 from the actual tile boundary, 83 00:03:12.04 --> 00:03:14.00 so I'm going to press Control + H 84 00:03:14.00 --> 00:03:16.07 or Command + H on the Mac to hide that selection, 85 00:03:16.07 --> 00:03:18.00 and then I'll just go ahead 86 00:03:18.00 --> 00:03:20.04 and drag the artwork to a different location, 87 00:03:20.04 --> 00:03:23.01 and notice that the tile moves along with. 88 00:03:23.01 --> 00:03:24.08 If that's not the behavior you want, 89 00:03:24.08 --> 00:03:27.00 then just go ahead and turn the checkbox off. 90 00:03:27.00 --> 00:03:28.08 And now notice, if I drag these guys 91 00:03:28.08 --> 00:03:30.04 to a different location, 92 00:03:30.04 --> 00:03:32.07 that the tile stays where it was, 93 00:03:32.07 --> 00:03:35.02 and so far it doesn't look like it has much effect, 94 00:03:35.02 --> 00:03:37.01 but if I move it too far away, 95 00:03:37.01 --> 00:03:40.03 I'll end up moving that artwork outside the tile entirely, 96 00:03:40.03 --> 00:03:42.02 at which point we won't really have much 97 00:03:42.02 --> 00:03:43.07 of a pattern anymore. 98 00:03:43.07 --> 00:03:45.09 Now, I want to direct your attention to this checkbox 99 00:03:45.09 --> 00:03:48.04 down here at the bottom, Show Swatch Bounds. 100 00:03:48.04 --> 00:03:49.07 If you turn it on, 101 00:03:49.07 --> 00:03:52.04 then you'll see this dotted rectangle right here, 102 00:03:52.04 --> 00:03:54.00 and to see it a little better, 103 00:03:54.00 --> 00:03:56.07 I'll mover the Pattern Options panel out of the way. 104 00:03:56.07 --> 00:03:59.01 And that dotted boundary shows you, 105 00:03:59.01 --> 00:04:01.06 where objects are going to fall out of the pattern. 106 00:04:01.06 --> 00:04:03.07 So, because all of the objects are outside 107 00:04:03.07 --> 00:04:06.09 of that boundary currently, we see no pattern. 108 00:04:06.09 --> 00:04:10.07 But if I were to move them in just a little bit, like so, 109 00:04:10.07 --> 00:04:13.04 then we will move some of those objects 110 00:04:13.04 --> 00:04:15.00 back into the pattern, 111 00:04:15.00 --> 00:04:17.06 including a couple of the highlight images 112 00:04:17.06 --> 00:04:19.09 along with what used to be a blend 113 00:04:19.09 --> 00:04:22.05 and of course, those two gradient strokes. 114 00:04:22.05 --> 00:04:25.01 And so, if I were to move things slightly farther out, 115 00:04:25.01 --> 00:04:28.00 so notice right now, I'm seeing an intersection 116 00:04:28.00 --> 00:04:31.04 between that dotted boundary and that pink bounding box, 117 00:04:31.04 --> 00:04:33.01 the outer most rectangle, 118 00:04:33.01 --> 00:04:35.06 and so, if I were to drop it into place right now, 119 00:04:35.06 --> 00:04:37.07 I'd be left with those rings, 120 00:04:37.07 --> 00:04:39.09 as well as a little bit of a drop shadow image 121 00:04:39.09 --> 00:04:41.06 and nothing more. 122 00:04:41.06 --> 00:04:43.01 Alright, now, let's say 123 00:04:43.01 --> 00:04:44.07 at this point I'm just fooling around, 124 00:04:44.07 --> 00:04:47.01 I'm just trying to figure out how things work, 125 00:04:47.01 --> 00:04:49.02 and I want to cancel that. 126 00:04:49.02 --> 00:04:51.01 Well, of course, normally what you would do 127 00:04:51.01 --> 00:04:52.07 to cancel in Illustrator, 128 00:04:52.07 --> 00:04:55.00 is you would press the Escape key. 129 00:04:55.00 --> 00:04:57.02 Unfortunately, that's a gotcha, 130 00:04:57.02 --> 00:04:59.05 where the Pattern Editing mode is concerned 131 00:04:59.05 --> 00:05:01.08 because pressing Escape is the same 132 00:05:01.08 --> 00:05:04.00 as clicking the Done button. 133 00:05:04.00 --> 00:05:07.04 And so, what do you do in order to get back your pattern? 134 00:05:07.04 --> 00:05:08.02 Well, you would think 135 00:05:08.02 --> 00:05:09.08 that you would just press Control + Z 136 00:05:09.08 --> 00:05:11.05 or Command + Z on the Mac, 137 00:05:11.05 --> 00:05:16.00 but if you do that, then you really undo that last drag 138 00:05:16.00 --> 00:05:18.00 back inside the Pattern Editing mode. 139 00:05:18.00 --> 00:05:20.08 So notice we actually did a couple of things there. 140 00:05:20.08 --> 00:05:23.03 But from this point on, if you press Control + Z 141 00:05:23.03 --> 00:05:24.08 or Command + Z on the Mac, 142 00:05:24.08 --> 00:05:27.07 you're just going to keep undoing those various steps 143 00:05:27.07 --> 00:05:30.08 that you performed inside the Pattern Editor. 144 00:05:30.08 --> 00:05:33.01 Luckily, I have a little bit of a trick for you, 145 00:05:33.01 --> 00:05:36.05 and to demonstrate it, I'm going to redo all those moves. 146 00:05:36.05 --> 00:05:40.00 So, I'll just choose the Redo command from the Edit menu, 147 00:05:40.00 --> 00:05:41.07 and then I'll press Control + Shift + Z 148 00:05:41.07 --> 00:05:43.06 or Command + Shift + Z on the Mac 149 00:05:43.06 --> 00:05:46.04 in order to once again exit the Pattern Editor. 150 00:05:46.04 --> 00:05:49.01 So, here we are looking at a big mistake. 151 00:05:49.01 --> 00:05:50.01 What do we do? 152 00:05:50.01 --> 00:05:52.00 Well, it's just two steps. 153 00:05:52.00 --> 00:05:55.00 You press Control + Z or Command + Z on the Mac 154 00:05:55.00 --> 00:05:57.05 in order to go back to the Pattern Editor, 155 00:05:57.05 --> 00:05:58.06 and then you just go up here 156 00:05:58.06 --> 00:06:01.05 to the Cancel button and click on it. 157 00:06:01.05 --> 00:06:04.00 And that will cancel all that stuff 158 00:06:04.00 --> 00:06:06.05 without you having to press Control + Z 159 00:06:06.05 --> 00:06:11.01 or Command + Z on the Mac a bunch of times in a row. 160 00:06:11.01 --> 00:06:12.01 Alright, and just one more trick 161 00:06:12.01 --> 00:06:13.08 that I want to share with you. 162 00:06:13.08 --> 00:06:16.05 Notice how the pattern is not really centered 163 00:06:16.05 --> 00:06:18.02 inside the window here. 164 00:06:18.02 --> 00:06:20.02 Let's say you want to scooch it around. 165 00:06:20.02 --> 00:06:22.06 In that case, just go ahead and click on the rectangle 166 00:06:22.06 --> 00:06:24.01 with the Black Arrow tool. 167 00:06:24.01 --> 00:06:26.00 And the reason I can't see it selected is 168 00:06:26.00 --> 00:06:29.03 because I pressed Control + H or Command + H on the Mac 169 00:06:29.03 --> 00:06:30.06 to hide my selection, 170 00:06:30.06 --> 00:06:32.06 and so if I press the keyboard shortcut again, 171 00:06:32.06 --> 00:06:34.07 I can now see the center point right there. 172 00:06:34.07 --> 00:06:36.07 Next, with the Black Arrow tool selected, 173 00:06:36.07 --> 00:06:38.01 I press the Enter key 174 00:06:38.01 --> 00:06:40.09 in order to bring up the Move dialogue box. 175 00:06:40.09 --> 00:06:42.07 And notice that's making a mess of things, 176 00:06:42.07 --> 00:06:45.09 I'll just set both of these values to zero, let's say, 177 00:06:45.09 --> 00:06:49.05 and then I make sure to turn off Transform Objects, 178 00:06:49.05 --> 00:06:51.08 leave Transform Patterns turned on, 179 00:06:51.08 --> 00:06:54.03 and next, I'll click inside the horizontal value, 180 00:06:54.03 --> 00:06:57.03 and I'll press Shift + Up Arrow a couple of times 181 00:06:57.03 --> 00:06:59.09 in order to nudge the pattern to the right. 182 00:06:59.09 --> 00:07:01.05 And now we want to nudge it upwards, 183 00:07:01.05 --> 00:07:03.04 so I'll tab to the vertical value 184 00:07:03.04 --> 00:07:07.01 and press Shift + Down Arrow a total of five times 185 00:07:07.01 --> 00:07:09.03 in order to produce this effect here, 186 00:07:09.03 --> 00:07:13.06 so that this central lens is centered inside the rectangle, 187 00:07:13.06 --> 00:07:16.06 at which point, I'll just click Okay to apply that change. 188 00:07:16.06 --> 00:07:18.05 And then I'll press Control + Shift + A 189 00:07:18.05 --> 00:07:21.08 or Command + Shift + A to deselect my artwork. 190 00:07:21.08 --> 00:07:23.08 And that is how you both undo 191 00:07:23.08 --> 00:07:27.00 and cancel unwanted modifications 192 00:07:27.00 --> 00:07:29.02 when working inside the Pattern Editor 193 00:07:29.02 --> 00:07:31.02 here inside Illustrator.
