    Something to note: opposed to going into the preferences to change the "Scale Strokes & Effects" setting, you can instead double-click the Scale tool in the Tool Menu to bring up scaling properties and check/uncheck the same setting. Another alternative is opening/expanding the Transform window and checking/unchecking the setting there as well.

    06:15 - For anyone with a German (or other) keyboard layout who CANNOT use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + ;" to show/hide guides (because you have to press shift first to even use ";", meaning you'd have to press "Ctrl + Shift + ;"), do this:
    Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
    Instead of "Tools" select "Menu Commands"
    Go to View > Guides > Hide Guides.
    Click into the row where it says "Ctrl + ;". I changed this shortcut to "Ctrl + ,".
    You can now use "Ctrl + ," to show/hide guides.

    Thanks so much! Currently taking a computer graphics course but the teacher doesn't seem to know all that much about computer graphics (he's the only art teacher, so I'm guessing he's more into painting and more traditional art). He usually doesn't know the answer to most of my questions...so this is amazing! Currently making my way through this entire playlist on my day off so I can go back to class and not struggle so much :)

    I started using Illustrator recently, and I noticed that scrolling while holding down alt is easier than switching tools. Also, you can hold down ctrl and shift to scroll sideways or scroll very fast.

    Excellent explanation, thank you.
    When you select all the objects you must drag them as a group by selecting one of the objects. If you select them all, and then click on the white area of the group, it won't work. It took me a while haha. So select the whole group, then click or grab one square ( object) and click and you will move the whole thing. Very good. Adobe should be paying you!!!!!

    For beginners, if The Vertical Distribute Centre puts all the vectors on a single place, then you must have to click the drop-down to the left of the Alignment panel and choose ALIGN TO SELECTION. This dropdown will be right next to Horizontal Align Left which is right next to Horizontal Align Centre.
