3-Level menus cheese me off! Thanks for the simple tip. I’ll be looking for more of these, because I know they’re hidden all over the place.

It’s always nice to save a click and in the end save time :-)

Wow, thanks BB for the tip! I’m not a frequent user of Ai but this is great! (I don’t know many shortcuts in Ai still…)

So since we are in the neighborhood, how do you delete a brush from a saved brush library without having to drag all of the brushes into the brush palette, drag the lame ones into the trash, and then re save your brush library and then load back up the brushes you wanted into the document.

Theres got to be a remove brush from library button somewheres but ill be blanked if i can find it.

Always more than one way to find or do stuff in Ai. Anything to cut down some time during the day! Thanks Bitt!

Nice tip! One other shortcut that some of you might find useful (related to this) is that you can open up a new Illustrator file, by using any existing Illustrator file as your blank template. When you open it up from that other file, it will carry in any of the content in the file (swatches, brushes, graphic styles, text styles, etc. … as well as of the other key document-specific settings).

To do this, go to File–>New, and click on the New Document Profile choice. You can then browse for the file you want to use as your blank starting point (note it will just open without carrying any of the content on the canvas). If you want to quickly find any of your custom startup files when you click on the “New Document Profile” option, just copy them to the same folder as the default Document Profiles are located.
