Hello! How do i colour my shapes separately after making them into a compound path? On my laptop i could used shape builder to colour them separately. Is there this option on ipad version?

@LauraCoyle Жыл бұрын

When you do that on the desktop (color shapes with the Pathfinder inside a compound path), do the shapes come apart and are no longer compound paths? I'm not sure you can maintain a compound path once you change the color of a shape within - they are comprised of multiple shapes with the same appearance.

Any way to change the default color swatches for *every* document?

@LauraCoyle Жыл бұрын

The default swatches come along with the document profile/preset you choose when you create a new document. You can't change the Illustrator document profiles, but, you can create a custom document profile. I haven't made a video for that, but I like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib2JpamonMizpYE.html

Hi Laura, I’m having issues with the eye dropper on iPad. Every time I select a colour using the eye dropper, it comes out different to the original. Any idea what the issue could be?

@LauraCoyle Жыл бұрын

Yes - if you are talking about the color looking the same but having different formula numbers. The eyedropper on the iPad version works differently than it does on the desktop. When you sample and apply a color, the eyedropper is not applying the swatch you attached to that art. Instead, it's kind of like it's taking a snapshot of the color, so the formula numbers can be off by just a tiny bit. This is a pain for those who have to control our colors, apply swatches, and keep them consistent. If you need to apply a swatch color, then click the swatch instead of using the eyedropper. Hopefully, there will be a fix for this in the future. Let me know if that helps!

Trying to find out if I can save current swatches on one file, and add them to a different file?

@LauraCoyle 11 ай бұрын

If they are global, you can copy the art to another file and delete the art, the swatches will remain. You can also save colors in a CC library and access them in Illustrator on the iPad, but unfortunately, you can't save into a CC library from Illustrator on the iPad. You have to use the desktop or Capture. Hopefully, Adobe will let us save swatches to a CC library in the future from the iPad.

is pencil hover work on illustrator ipad m2 ?

@LauraCoyle Жыл бұрын

I don't have the M2 iPad, so I haven't tried it myself. I just searched, and I'm not seeing it with iPad Illustrator. Here's the Adobe Help article on new features and improvements: helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html Since the M2 with hover came out at the same time as the latest version of Ai, we may have to wait for another version to be implemented. If you try and find it, let me know!

Call me crazy, but is there no bucket tool on the iPad version of Illustrator?? T^T I can't find it anywhere!!

@LauraCoyle 29 күн бұрын

Not crazy at all! It's a different app, and it doesn't have as many features as the desktop version.

My Logo isn’t changing colour at all? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong tbh

Hope you can figure it out. Is your logo an image, and not vector art?

HELLO HOW I CAN USE THE EYEDROPER IN AI ON IPAD

@LauraCoyle Жыл бұрын

Select an object, choose the fill or stroke icon at the bottom of the toolbar, and click on the eyedropper in the color panel. With the eyedropper, you can drag over a color on the screen to pick and apply it to the selected object.
