Introduction
In this episode, we'll master grouping objects to make them easier to move then edit small parts inside a group using isolation mode without having to ungroup Let's get started Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital Designs usually consist of many small objects Grouping combines them so they can be moved and resized together Isolation mode opens the group for editing Create a flower from five pink circles for petals and one yellow circle in the center
Step 1: Flower from a circle
Currently, the six objects are separate, making it difficult to move them together
Step 2: Group with Control 6
Select all parts of the flower and press Ctrl G Now, one click with the selection tool selects the entire flower In the Layers panel, a new object named 'Group' appears containing the six circles
Step 3: Duplicate the group
Hold Alt and drag the flower to the right twice, resulting in three flowers Since it's grouped, all parts are duplicated and remain neat
Step 4: Isolation Mode
We want to change the color of the second flower's petals only Double-click the second flower Other objects dim and a gray toolbar appears above the canvas We are now in isolation mode, inside the group
Step 5: Edit inside the group
In isolation mode, click one petal and shift-click another petal, then apply a purple color Only the contents of this group can be edited, so other objects are safe from accidental clicks
Step 6: Exit Isolation Mode
Press SKP or double-click the empty area to exit The second flower remains a group with the new color To permanently ungroup, use Shift + Ctrl G
Done!
Done We've grouped objects with Ctrl G, duplicated the group, entered isolation mode by double-clicking, edited the group contents, and exited with SKP In the next episode, we'll use precise transformations and transform again.
