Adobe Illustrator Spirograph trick Helloo... Ahaaa, those crazy kids at Adobe have built in some hidden tricks into their software, here's one for creating funky Spirographic designs in Illustrator: When drawing any shape, hold down the 'tilda' key ~ Its usually found to the left of the number 1 key, at least on my Apple MacBook Pro it is... Holding down this key while drawing a shape will draw multiple shapes at once and you can drag you mouse around the screen to create really interesting designs. Also, holding down the tilda key in association with the shift key will keep the shapes in proportion, creating often tunnel like shapes, very psychadelic!! Try it also with the line and grid tools.... works good!! Anyhu, enjoy and check out www.arcaeda.com.au for more info, tips and tricks... Have fun! Ravian
