We're gonna talk about this in a few minutes here, but okay. I was zoomed in down there on that one, so why wouldn't it fit that one? It's whichever one is selected. Did it fit the one you expected in your window? It didn't for me. What that does is it fits what's called the active artboard into your document window. Go ahead and choose fit artboard in window under the view menu. This is another one we're gonna be using all the time. As you get used to Illustrator you might start using these kind of keyboard commands. Control plus, control minus on Windows, okay? So it's a little further along. It's kind of weird but it's the same thing as the zoom tool but you'll notice the short cut commands to the right here. The two that I use all the time are zoom in and zoom out. So it might show it that big, you know what I mean? Or the size of a billboard or something. What it does is it says, if you're working on something like a logo and somebody gave you a file and you opened it up and the logo is like in your face this big, if you went to actual size it might actually be that big. We have from zoom in down to actual size.
#Right zoom in illustrator series#
If you come under the view menu, come under view, you're gonna see that we have a series of zoom commands right here. I want to show you a few of these, because they're really really helpful. Now, a lot of times, you're gonna get used to this, you need to get used to this, okay? This type of zooming. When you want to zoom back in you let go of the key, you're back onto zoom in with the plus, okay? So you can do it that way. So you can click a couple times with that key held down. You're gonna just click or if you want to click and drag you can zoom left, click drag left.

Hold down the option key on Mac or alt key on Windows, and you're gonna see it turns to minus. As you zoom in, you want to zoom out, which you can do. So if I click down here, that's going to jump into the center of my document window. You'll notice that where you click, this freaks people out, but where you click, it actually zooms in to the center. Now what I wanna do a lot of times is as I'm zooming into something, I can still just click and zoom. Alright, so we've got this dynamic zooming we can do, which is pretty amazing. It's gonna zoom into that area when you let go, okay? So it's a little different. I'm kind of addicted to it but if you don't have it, what's going to happen is when you click and drag, you're actually going to create a box. If you guys do not see that rocket icon up there or if the rocket icon has like a sorry circle on it, you know, like a slash thingy going on, you can't do it okay? 'Cause your machine doesn't support it but that's pretty sweet, that's pretty awesome to be able to do that. Your machine has to support it, and you got to have the right version of Illustrator. If I click and drag right or left, watch what happens here. If your machine supports it, and if you have a later version of Illustrator, you can do this too. And you zoom in by a factor, it's like 50% or something. Why don't you come out here to the text and just click maybe one more time. But okay so, this is actually part of what's called GPU performance or GPU acceleration. If you don't, I'm sorry, but maybe a previous version, I don't know. If you see one, you got some awesome things you can do. This has been in here for a couple versions now but if you have Illustrator CC, I believe it's 2014 and later, we have a different way to be able to zoom because there is a, something's going on behind the scenes that we don't need to know about, okay? How many of you see a little rocket ship all the way up here in the control, or application bar? Okay. I know this is probably nothing new to any of you but go ahead and clic. If we want to zoom in, you can go where you want to zoom in, like let's say I come to the text over here on the right for instance.
#Right zoom in illustrator plus#
Go ahead and select the zoom tool and come out here and you're gonna see that we have the little plus in the zoom. How many of you used the zoom tool in another program? Okay, I know, it's the same, it's very similar okay? Except, Illustrator has an awesome new feature I want to show you guys, okay? It's part of it. If you look over in the left over here, you're gonna see that towards the bottom of the tools panel, we actually have the zoom tool right down here. You're gonna want to bring it into your face, okay? There are a lot of ways to do this. One of things that's gonna happen in here is you're gonna want to work on something, and invariably, because it's vector, you're gonna want to zoom into it.
