Adobe Illustrator CS5 What’s New

Top new features of Adobe Illustrator CS5

Perspective drawing

Use perspective grids to draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, and 3-point linear perspectives.

The new Perspective Grid tool allows you to turn on a grid that supports drawing directly on planes

of true perspective. The new Perspective Selection tool allows objects to be moved, scaled,

duplicated, and transformed dynamically in perspective. Easily move and duplicate objects from

one plane to another.

You can also create objects in flat space and then apply them to a perspective plane, where they

will correctly transform in shape. This works particularly well with symbols, in that you can place

easily reapeatable instances onto the perspective grid and see the symbols “in back” recede to give

you the look of realistic depth and distance. You can use the perspective grid to resize objects; you

can even work with live text in perspective.

No longer do you need to construct your own perspective

environment—no more creating your own horizon lines

and vanishing points. You can even use the perspective

grid to draw vector objects on top of a reference

photograph or video still placed on your artboard.

Consider adding a series of street lamps to a cityscape

for a sequential lighting animation, for example. Or add

fence posts to a reference landscape image to complete

your billboard for a western wilderness camp.

Easily set up perspective

grids the way you want and

create objects anywhere on

the grid. You can even edit

live text in perspective.
