•No More Filters: ere was considerable duplication between the
visual operations available under the Filter menu and those available
under the Eects menu. Filters created literal, embedded, pixel-based
content, or permanently altered aected objects. Eects remain
editable throughout the life of the job, and, as such, are much more
exible. To remove the redundancy, the Filter menu entry is now
gone. Most options that were available under the Filter menu can now
be found under the Eects menu, or the Edit menu. ird-party lters
that used to appear under the Filter menu will now be available under
the Object > Filter menu when installed.
•Isolation mode: Work in Isolation mode with more object types,
including compound paths, gradient meshes, clipping paths, opacity
masks and images.
•Alignment to a key object: Select several objects, then click on one of
the objects to earmark it as the key object. e selection edge of the
key object becomes highlighted, and alignment or distribution of
other selected objects will now be in reference to the key object.
•Transparency in Gradients: You can specify opacity for color stops on
a gradient, in addition to applying color.
•Appearance panel: You can perform many operations directly in the
Appearance panel without invoking menus or other panels. Select
individual Appearance components in the panel, and alter the options.
Bleed
You can specify a bleed area that is recognized when printing and
exporting an Illustrator file, in much the same way as you can in
InDesign. You can snap objects to the bleed lines. To turn off the view of
bleed guide lines, choose View > Guides > Hide Guides.
To create a defined bleed, you can either specify a bleed value when
creating a new document, or add it once the document is open. To add
a bleed area to an existing document, choose File > Document Setup
and enter the appropriate amount in the bleed fields. By default, all
bleed values are linked; changing one value changes them all. But you
can unlink the bleed fields and specify a different value for each side of
the artboard. Note that in files with multiple artboards, all artboards will
have the same bleed value.
Seing Bleed Value
e bleed elds are linked; enter a value in any eld, and all elds are automatically
updated. To specify dierent bleed amounts, click the chain icon (circled) to unlink the elds,
and then enter the values in individual elds.
In print and Save as PDF dialogs, be sure to check the option to Use
Document Bleed Settings under the Marks and Bleed topic. Note that if
you check this setting, but have not specified a bleed zone for the
document, no bleed is generated; only artwork within the artboard trim
area is printed or retained in the resulting PDF. If you have not specified
a bleed zone, you can manually enter a bleed value when saving as PDF
or when printing, and correct bleed will be included, assuming the
chosen print media is large enough.
Working with Multiple Artboards
Long requested (especially by FreeHand users switching to Illustrator),
multiple Artboards allow the user to create multiple individual drawing
