Today I want to share a quick alignment tip for Illustrator (I’m using CS4). First of all let me say that this is a very simple tip but it won’t be useful every time. You have to need one of your points not to move. That’s the purpose of this technique. Like I said, it’s easy, so let’s get started.
I’ve only recently been using this Illustrator feature, but I’ve found it to be very useful for really precise drawing. In my case, when I draw fonts. I want to show you how to use the Illustrator “Average” feature to get perfect point alignment during drawing.
This Illustrator quick tip was requested by Chris. Chris asks, “I want to make a global change to the FONT or STYLE of a bunch of text boxes (each with different text inside them) at once. Is there a way to do this?” As a matter of fact, there are a couple different solutions, both of which take no time at all, however, graphic styles must be applied differently, but we can take care of all of the font formatting with ease. Let’s get started.
In this (requested) video tutorial, I will go over how to edit multiple text boxes across a multi-artboard Illustrator document. This allows you to edit the text once and change it on all corresponding artboards in your Illustrator document, saving you loads of time. :)

This is a very simple tip for the Illustrator user interface to center your artboard on your screen. It’s marked “101″ for a reason…
I’ve got a super-useful Illustrator tip today. How to align to a “key object.” This is my first HD video, so it’s best viewed in full screen mode. I hope this tip saves some people a little headache

I have another cool Illustrator tip for everyone. I randomly found this functionality while working on a project, and I thought I’d share it with everyone. I’m hoping that someone will find it useful.
