This should be in the cc cloud app. I work for many agencies and none use bridge. Global cc settings: Same for document presets and scripts. Why not Adobe why!?
i never thought the second one would be considered a hack, I use it pretty much every time xD Also I had never noticed that Join Tool, I always use the Pencil! Loved the rest 7 though :)
Hi Dan, your videos never cease to be of use to me as a non-designer business owner using Ai. The Icons, Swatches and Tiling hacks were extremely useful. Thanks very much.
Thank you! (I also like the frershness of you doing it in real time. You have jiust saved me hours or frustration with aligning points. Most important though is generating palettes I'm in the middle of a big project requiring that colors across multiple images be consistent but varied. No more recreating color swatches be hand, (though that is also fun).
hack #1: solves the issue i had yesterday. i kept think i needed to join and delete "extra anchor pts". PITA! never would have though to use what i (erroneously) saw as an area/fill modifying tool for fixing/unifying paths! just this change to my thinking may help me to make better use of the program-outside this particular issue.
Humbling myself enough to learn more about Illustrator from others was a whole journey for me. Sure, I may know 7/9 "hacks" already, but there were two that I didn't know, and now that I took the time to learn them, I'm going to save SO much more time in the future! Good work Dansky, thanks!
@@ForeverDansky just a little gesture! I've been using illustrator for over 14 years. It's not my favourite Adobe app but watching the video's makes me love it a lot more and still learning new things!
Do you know if there is a way to create a colour average from an image that gets applied to a shapes above? In a similar way object mosaic tool works but to pre-set shapes not just a grid? Would help load for low poly portraits.
Ah I got the sound panels from Amazon! Search for "acoustic foam panelling" and they really help reduce the echo in the room when recording. The swivel mic stand is linked in the video description 🙂
that second one helped alot. i was manually deleting all the anchor points with direct selection tool, the paths sometimes gets deleted with the anchor point as well.. that made a huge chaos but THE LEGEENDARY LIFESAVER DAN saved us
This video is so helpful thanks. And also I have a question, is there a way for me to resize things without holding down shift and maintain proportions like in the photoshop? I did a lot of research for this but couldn't find any settings for it, is it possible? Thanks in advance.
AWESOME Tutorial!!!! 1) I have to export a lot of Solidworks drawings into Illustrator (I export them as .DFX files). when the drawings come over the lines are broken up into a ton of tiny little segments... is there any way to join the lines so that they are not so broken up? 2) How did you create that grid and center all those icons? Did you make a table like in InDesign? That was super cool how you were able to scale all those icons from the center of each square. Would love to see a tutorial on how that was created.
Is there a way to have two tiled windows of the same document (with changes updating) but have one document's active selections not appear? Sorry if that wasn't very clear- thank you so much for these videos! It's making it much less painful to learn Ai!
Hello. I'm wondering how I can end my current pen line on a previously drawn pen stroke while tracing an image by hand? I am trying to trace an image with pen tool and then laser cutting said trace but I need all closed paths.
when I use shape builder tool it changes the size of an object a little bit, which cause problems for big cnc cutting files. bcs, those small changes in every shape create a big difference in total. any suggestion for that??
ℹ FYI all of the unit input fields are "self-calculating". If your working unit doesn't match the default one (digital to analog or vice versa) you can still use it! Example: your stroke is measured in POINTS on PRINT document -> input [ 80pt ] even if the default is in mm/inch - it will get translated into correct unit with no effort
Hi Dan, I have a problem exporting as an SVG file in Illustrator and Photoshop too. I have 2 text layers, the back text is colored and the front text is black and they are overlapping each other. Unfortunately, the Cricut Design Space will not be able to handle the svg file properly, due to the overlapping problem. I tried to unite them before the export but then the colored text will be changed to black. Do you have any idea, how can I unite them without losing the colored text and save it as an SVG file properly? Thank you so much for your help.
Hey Dansky! I need your assistance please. When I go to Transform each tool. The constrain option doesn’t appear. I got Illustrator 2022. This Tip was really a life saving for me but unfortunately the constrain option ditched me 😭 Help me out Please 🙏
Design Tip #8: Mosaic images. The one key piece of info you need in order to complete this, is to make sure your image is EMBEDED into your document otherwise you'll not get the option to Object > Create Object Mosaic.

Just created a new UA-cam-Playlist called "ultra useful tutorials" just because of this video! :D awesome!!
Aha wow, that's amazing Paul! Thank you 🙏
Link please ?
Just came across your channel and wow! Thank you for all of these time saving tips!
You’re welcome 😊 Glad you like them thanks!
Absolutely a great tutorial I'm amazed ❤
Thanks!
Didn’t know I could add all selected colours to the swatches panel! I’ve been adding my colours one by one. I will use that all the time now 😁
Your videos are really amazing and this is one of them ,, very nice tips for easy work. 🤩
Dansky you’re really a blessing for me 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you, that’s so kind of you ❤️
Absolutely golden. So glad I decided to watch that. The multiple scale selections is so rad. I used to transform each art board separately!
very-very useful and great tips, I am new to Illustrator, and your contents a great help for my learning process - ❤ thank you so much, Dansky
Hey Lily you're welcome! 😊 Also thank you so much for supporting me as a member 👊
I love how easy your hacks are to follow and they're all pertinent.. thanks!
Nice. I knew pretty much all of these except merging anchor points with pathfinder. I had no idea that you could do that.

SO great, the first 2 are always a problem for me so big thanks
Awesome, glad I could help! ✌️🥳
Tip number 8 blew my MIND, this is great!!
Awesome! 🙌
Thank you so much, Dansky.

9:00 tip 7 is out of this world 👍🏻
Dio you have a tutorial on how you made that anchor? I'm a newbie and this would help me so much! Thank you!
Hii thanks for the video ! I would like to ask if it's a new update with " smooth" function ? cause i don't have one
Adobe Illustrator 2024 👍
Great job! I am constantly learning, I love it!
Thank you, that's so great to hear Arlene! 😊

You're welcome :)
So many tips, so little time. Wonder how many I'll remember tomorrow?!
thanks for these hacks. If anyone is interested, the color mosaic one only works if the image is embedded rather than linked.
very useful, thank you.
Do you know if there is a way to create a colour average from an image that gets applied to a shapes above? In a similar way object mosaic tool works but to pre-set shapes not just a grid?
Would help load for low poly portraits.
nice, nice,nice thanks Dansky
Thank you so much 😊 sir
Love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤
What are those sponges there on your wall? Do you know where I can buy it?
Ah I got the sound panels from Amazon! Search for "acoustic foam panelling" and they really help reduce the echo in the room when recording. The swivel mic stand is linked in the video description 🙂
Learned so much here
Helpful, like always... Thank you, very much, and long life, to your channel!!!
Great video! Thanks.

Hi Dan can you please upload a Photoshop tutorial. I really love your Photoshop tutorials
New to the channel. Love the info and enthusiasm!
Tip #3 - OMG!! Thanks!
Happy to help 😁
These were very useful tips 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
These are amazing tips, I mainly use Ai for lettering and logo design so the "Average" function is a big game changer!
that second one helped alot. i was manually deleting all the anchor points with direct selection tool, the paths sometimes gets deleted with the anchor point as well.. that made a huge chaos but THE LEGEENDARY LIFESAVER DAN saved us
Aha yea it’s a nifty workaround, and much quicker than scripts! I learned about this technique the other day from a comment on another video 😃
@@ForeverDansky hah from a comment that's cool
Thanks, man!
Absolutely Fantastic Video, very useful 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing

You’re welcome ☺️ Ah no afraid not, pretty sure Illustrator requires a Shift key press, and doesn’t have a toggle option in the settings.

Definitely!
Thanks

Hey Dansky!
I need your assistance please. When I go to Transform each tool. The constrain option doesn’t appear. I got Illustrator 2022. This Tip was really a life saving for me but unfortunately the constrain option ditched me 😭 Help me out Please 🙏
Sorry I’ve the 2020 version of Illustrator
And I’m talking about Tip no 3
Hey there, if the 'link icon' doesn't appear in the 'Transform' window, just adjust both values for the 'Scale' equally 👍
very helpful video👌😊
Awesome! 🙌
Thanks your Experience
Design Tip #8: Mosaic images. The one key piece of info you need in order to complete this, is to make sure your image is EMBEDED into your document otherwise you'll not get the option to Object > Create Object Mosaic.
And the swatches, add selected colours, is my favourite tip.
Can you make videos on t shirt designing? Any short course?
