Introduction
In this episode, we'll master fast navigation in Illustrator, from zooming in for details, moving the canvas with the Hand Tool, up to viewing the entire artboard at once and switching between artboards. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Designers switch back and forth between details and the overall view. That's why fast navigation is essential, and almost everything has keyboard shortcuts.
Step 1: Zoom with Keyboard
Open the file 3 kartu ucapan. Press Ctrl + to zoom in and Ctrl - to zoom out. The zoom percentage always appears in the document tab and in the bottom-left corner of the status bar.
Step 2: Zoom Tool
Select the Zoom Tool by pressing the Z key. Click on the area you want to view, for example, the sun, and the view zooms in on that point. Hold Alt and click to zoom out. You can also hold Alt while scrolling the mouse wheel. To move fast without changing the zoom, use the Hand Tool.
Step 3: Hand Tool and Spacebar Button
The fastest way is to hold the spacebar, the cursor changes to a hand, then drag. Release the spacebar to return to the previous tool.
Step 4: Fit Artboard and Fit All
Press Ctrl 0 to Fit Artboard in Window, the active artboard appears on the screen. Press Ctrl Alt 0 to Fit All in Window, all artboards are visible at once. Ctrl 1 displays the actual size, 100%. In the status bar, there's artboard navigation.
Step 5: Move Artboard
Click the right arrow to move to the next artboard, or select its number. The view immediately focuses on that artboard. This is very helpful when designing multiple pages.
Step 6: Navigation from the View Menu
All these commands are also available in the View menu. Zoom In, Zoom Out, Fit Artboard in Window, Fit All in Window, and Actual Size, complete with their shortcuts. Get used to using shortcuts to make your workflow faster.
Done!
Done. We've used Ctrl + Plus and Minus, Zoom Tool, Hand Tool with space, Fit Artboard, Fit to Artboard, Actual Size, and Artboard Navigation.
