different terms for the same concept. For example, in FreeHand you work with pages, while in Illustrator you work with an artboard. Once you understand the difference in terms, you are likely to find that the concepts are quite similar. Here are some key terms that differ between FreeHand and Illustrator: The bounding box in Illustrator can help you apply transformations to selected objects. Extrude artwork and create complex threedimensional objects using 3D effects in Illustrator. Import » Place In Illustrator you can place both graphic and text files; placed graphics can be either linked or embedded into the document and are accessible from the Links palette. Integration across the Adobe Creative Suite allows you, for example, to choose layers or layer comps when you place Photoshop files into Illustrator. Transform Handles » Bounding box When you select objects with the Selection tool, Illustrator displays a bounding box around them. The bounding box lets you move, rotate, duplicate, and scale objects easily by dragging the object or a handle (one of the hollow squares along the bounding box). To view the bounding box, choose View > Show Bounding Box. Keyline View » Outline By default, Illustrator displays all artwork in color. However, you can improve redraw and performance by viewing artwork as outlines (or paths). To view artwork as outlines, choose View > Outline. Choose View > Preview to view artwork in color. Extrude Tool » 3D effects 3D effects enable you to create three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional artwork or text. You can control the appearance of three-dimensional objects with lighting, shading, rotation, and other properties. Live Vector Effects » Effects Effects in Illustrator are live, which means that you can modify them even after they are applied. You can apply effects to any object and then modify its vectors or the effect's options, or remove the effect using the Appearance palette. Once you apply an effect to an object, the Appearance palette lists the effect and enables you to edit it, move it, duplicate it, delete it, or save it as part of a graphic style. Key Terms
