Reshaping tool gallery
Illustrator provides the following tools for reshaping objects:
The Live Paint Bucket tool
(K) paints faces and edges of
Live Paint groups with the
current paint attributes. The Live Paint Selection tool
selects faces and edges
within Live Paint groups. The Measure tool measures
the distance between two
points.
The Rotate tool (R) rotates
objects around a fixed point. The Reflect tool (O) flips
objects over a fixed axis. The Scale tool (S) resizes
objects around a fixed point. The Shear tool skews objects
around a fixed point.
The Reshape tool adjusts
selected anchor points while
keeping the overall detail of
the path intact. The Free Transform tool (E)
scales, rotates, or skews a
selection. The Blend tool (W) creates a
series of objects blended
between the color and shape
of multiple objects.
