everybody welcome back once again to another illustrator cs6 tutorial
and today we're going to learn about panels
and we're gonna learn how to show panels
and high panels to resize them and other things
so just keep i watch no tutorial and I'm sure you'll learn some new things about
panels
so pretty much what a panel does is it gives you easy access to
said task specific operations from our color control to
maybe like vector pat's information or brush
information and there over here
on the right and this is the panel's panel which is kinda funny to say but
there it is and you can find
and see all the different types the panel's them I'd not be over here over
here in the Windows
on the menu bar so for come down here we can see all these different kinds
%uh panels here and the ones that are open
are the ones that are check mark here so if I click on something like brushes
we can see that the pressures panel is now open and when I go to window you can
see it now
brushes is open so tools for here is check marked
that's on the left and control
is going to be here rate above ware says path they're not as the
XY wn8 over here and we've got all these other ones they can open up
and you can easily close these by clicking on this double a row
gonna close it and you can click on the icon at you remember what I comments
to open it up now if you hover over the icons
if you're on the default preferences then you can see the
I am description of what the panel actually is
so we know how to open a piano we know how to
collapse panel how do you resize the panel while
mom some on the panel said this handy resized ahranat waking like that
or out here like this now all panels have a resize barnum
see if I can find one that doesn't like this one right here
you can tell there's a resize Barca as a slight
extra little bar here down at the bottom has a buncha
little indentation looking things here
and that means you can resize it but when you can it doesn't have that
they can see the gradient one does but Schrock dozen
because there's really no need to you make this any bigger
the letters on gonna get bigger defies a gonna get bigger so
no reason really to do it so say you working on a panel like this
likes he have stroke greedy and transparency
and you don't wanna keep on cookin to switch back in between
is why bother them to be open at the same time
we need to do is click and hold on
the name here right on the tab and can drag it
and on docs the panel now you can have these two open at the same time
and you can move this to wherever you want to now
say you want to re doctors panel
while you just click on it and drag and
and you can see it down that there is a blue rectangle around it
so once you do that you can let go
einer docs the panel back in there you can also
move it around in the within the tabs and you can see over here on the right
in the panel's ads moving in the order they have the stacked
can also move the bun here to a different section
and that way you cannot
have a in its own little thing here and on our section
or you can move back to where it was
so there it is so
say you're working on your project and other stuff is getting in your way and
you don't really wanna
around and you no need to access the Tools panel or the control panel arnie
these other panels
whatcha gonna do is you gonna press tab and now you can see that all the
pentagon
now I like using this if I'm going to try to show some %uh the our work to
a client that way then on to CNN is nonsense and they're not looking around
trying to figure out things you can add to and stuff like that they're just
gonna see what you're showing them
it tab again you're going to have this open
now are you going to have all the stuff come back up
now if you hold down SHIFT and press tab you're only going to hide the panel's
panel
that way you can keep your
control panel and you can't control you can keep your tools panel
the last
now on a story about panels in this tutorial
is the panel options menu and each it is gonna have a panels options menu
so if castro care selected you click on this little
icon here and we've got our
panel options here more options I we can see
by go to the colors here II
got more options going on here without having show options
but show options got more options
got a color guide and you can see
all these different options each of these panels have
are all different
NH panel has its own set of options which is really nice
and you when you're working with a pan on you can figure out what's going on
are you can figure out why something is not there or anything like that
then we're gonna wanna do is go into the panel options and check and see if it
said their
you need to you can also
and a lot of the panels you can also change the you
so we've got different kinds of views here and you got different kinda sorting
as well so check in your options panel options menu for different
kinda things there you would expect the panel to have but don't see
I'm that so we've capra
this tutorial so keep on watch in and check us more tutorials as we keep on
going through
illustrator cs6 have a good on everyone
