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 the concepts quite similar. Here are some key terms that differ between FreeHand and Illustrator: The bounding box in Illustrator helps you apply transformations to selected objects. Extrude, revolve, and rotate artwork and type to create complex three-dimensional objects using 3D effects in 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 panel. Once you apply an effect to an object, the Appearance panel lists the effect and enables you to edit, move, duplicate, or delete it, or save it as part of a graphic style. Edit In External Editor » Edit Original Illustrator is highly integrated with Photoshop. To open a linked bitmap file in Photoshop, select the graphic and choose Edit Original in the Control panel or Links panel, or from the Edit menu. Key Terms
