You can expand/ungroup the elements if you want to animate them in After Effects or Animate. There are SVG options too using javascript and/or CSS animations. I'd be interested to see how you tackle it and the results. Keep watching, and do spread the word! :)

Great! I'm so glad I was able to help. Keep watching for more and don't forget to subscribe!

Hey John-you are most welcome! Try again and if it doesn't work for you, ket me know and I'll try to help. Do bear in mind that I'm on the road a lot at this time of year so it may take me a day or two to get back to you. :)

Really pleased it helped and thanks for letting me know. :)

You're most welcome! :)

Hey Jackie. Thank you! If you mean that you'd like each individual section to new locations, then you're most likely going to have to lose the connection between the graph and the data. Is there any way you can share with me a sketch of what it is you'd like to achieve just so that I can be certain? If you could put an image on Dropbox, Instagram or whatever, then comment again here, or add a message to my page on FB: facebook.com/TonyHarmerTraining/ and I'll take a look

You need to use the Scale Tool to transform graphs in clipping groups-then it'll work. :)

I don't currently but have just added it to the content list so there will be soon!

The video you need is now available, Nancy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebaDf5uEsZe4gWg.html

Hey. Yes you can still use the 3D effect, but it may slow down a little. :)

Hey, thanks for asking and sorry if it wasn't clear, but it's the ALT key. Of course, some keyboards don't have an ALT key but instead it is called OPT or OPTION, but it is the same thing. :)

You're welcome, and thank you for taking the time to comment-much appreciated. If you'd like some free Design Ninja stickers, like my FB page (facebook.com/thedesignninja) PM an address we can ship to (doesn't have to be home) and some will be on the way!

Thanks so much, Ahmed! Keep watching and be sure to subscribe.

hhh sure

Use the Scale Tool. :)

@@TheDesignNinja Thanks, I was able to use the tool, though I had to convert the doughnut into curves first, making it non-editable for later. Is there a way around it? I use CS6.

Hey Wendy, thank you! If you're resizing down all you should need to do is use the Transform panel and type in the new measurement-don't forget that you can convert between measurements by typing in, px, pt, pc, cm or mm after the numbers. Things to look out for: make sure that the transformation point is the centre, ideally and make sure that constrain proportions is enabled (looks like a chain link). Scaling up can be a little trickier, and you're best using the Scale Tool to do that. Hope that answers your question, and really glad you enjoyed the tutorial-if you're not already, be sure to subscribe for more and spread the word!

Hey Suraiya! The course is available from LinkedIn Learning-www.linkedin.com/learning/creating-illustrator-infographics-if you have a premium membership then all the courses are included but otherwise you can buy the course for around $30. There is a lot of information in there!

Thanks, Mark. You need to use the Scale Tool. Select the graph as you would normally, tap S on your keyboard, enter a uniform scaling value, and hit return.

Hey Iris, thank you for your comment and sorry for the slight delay in replying. Once you have added the clipping mask, use the Group Selection Tool (nested with the Direct Selection Tool) to select the graph, then right-click to access the data option. Let me know if you;re still having difficulty and we'll get you up and running as soon as possible. :)

Hey Angel. You need to hold down the SHIFT key and tap M to access the Shape Builder Tool-if it is different in your region, the easiest way to find out is to go to the tool in the toolbox and hover over it's icon, then the shortcut will be shown as a tooltip. You don't have to apologize for not being English-it's often my feeling that I have to because I am! ;)

When selecting the colors, make sure RGB is selected instead of grayscale

Hey. The chart tools are so old, they don't work with the smart guides! It's crazy. 😔

Double check your data-there may be an illegal character in there somewhere

@@TheDesignNinja Thank you! Still don't know what wrong, but make new chart and it comes out so great!!! I learn a lot from your videos

Glad it's all good now, and thanks for the kind words-much appreciated!

Hi, it is still there! Tap J on your keyboard, then long press on that icon in the toolbox and you'll see it in the stack that is revealed.

Sorry for the huge delay in reply-I've had to be off for a few weeks-and you need to make absolutely sure that you have the graph and the object to clip it into are selected. Hope that helps.

Hey. Build your key shape as the clipping mask before applying it to the chart, and also any other art you need to show through the clipping mask needs to be in place first. Hope that makes sense. This may be a fun tut to make-I may do it this week. :)

Just a thought-I may have misunderstood-did you mean a Legend?

@@TheDesignNinja yes I meant a legend explaing what the colors in the graph mean.

Thought so. The easiest way to do this is usually to make the legend separately, but if you want it to be the generated legend than there is a way: 1. Make sure the legend is where you want it to be (you can move it with the Group Selection Tool) then draw a rectangle over it, which will form one part of your mask. 2. draw the circles you will use to create the doughnut. 3. Select the inner circle and cut it to the clipboard. 4. Select the rectangle and the outer circle and turn them into a compound path (CMD-8 or CTRL-8). 5. Double-click the compound shape to isolate it and then use the Paste in Place command to paste in the circle. 6. Exit isolation mode, select the shape and your chart, then use CMD-7 (CTRL-7 on Windows) to create the clipping mask. :)

@@TheDesignNinja thanks, man. I'll try this method next time I have to deal with this kind of chart.

Thanks, Hans-keep watching, there's plenty more to come! :)

Hey Mohamad-make sure that you're using the Group Selection Tool to pick the object you'd like to color. Also, make sure that nothing is selected before you do that-sometimes the whole object remains selected and that wil be why everything is changing.

Hey Butch-do you mean have a slice missing? Simply give it both a fill and stroke of "none". If that's not what you meant, let me know. :)

A gap allowance on each portion.

Thank you. I'm not entirely sure that you should have gaps as it may suggest that the data is incomplete, perhaps? That said, I have seen this done, where the chart is "exploded" to move the segments apart in a design, and this is such a good problem that I'm going to make it the subject of the next movie. Stay tuned.

Hey. The pie will divide according to the numbers input into the data fields, either as numbers or percentages. If you want to see divisions in a block and have those all the same colour, then leave the strokes intact on the pie chart. Hope that helps!

I haven't made myself clear . Imagine one of the data sets - lets say the red arch, subdivided into say 6 equal parts while the others remain as shown. Is this done at the data input level and if so how? Or is there a quick and and way to subdivide an arch in Illustrator?

Hey Gabriel-if you want to keep the data live, you'd do this at the data input level. Let's say that in the case of the example used on the poster for this movie, the total for the red area was 60, the orange area 25 and the yellow area was 15; you'd divide the 60 by 6, giving each segment a value of 10. Hope that helps.

OK one more try - lets say the red area was 60 as you indicated - the 60 was made up 20%a, 10%b, 50%c, and 20%d - for example (appreciate these are not equal I just used equal amounts to illustrate the point - hope this is clear now. There would be 4 SUBDIVISIONS totalling 100% which accounted for the 60 part in the whole chart.Thanks for your help though.

Hi Gabriel-apologies for the delay but it's a day-job day, and I didn't see your reply until today. I think we were having an articulation go-slow yesterday, and I wanted to make sure I gave you a satisfactory answer, so I've just knocked up a quick post on my blog that will hopefully nail it for you: bit.ly/2meMKtO I am experiencing a couple of issues with the blog at the moment, so please be patient if there's a short lag in the page rendering-I'm working on it.

Hi. When you're exporting the image to png, are you making sure that the Transparent option is checked? If it is, then check Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings… and make sure that the transparengt option there is also checked. Hope that helps.

@@TheDesignNinja thanks!

Use the Direct Selection Tool or Group Selection Tool :)

Best. Overstatement. Ever. But thank you for you appreciation! Keep watching!

That is probably the #1 most requested feature with the chart tools! Why don''t you add it as a feature request here: illustrator.uservoice.com/
