Using the Vanishing Point command
Chapter 4: Drawing And Vector Effects
The Vanishing Point command applies a perspective effect to one or more vector objects. The
command slants the bounding boxes of selected vector objects so the objects appear in perspective
based on a vanishing point that you select.
The Vanishing Point command is available when vector objects or groups of vector objects are
selected. The command is not available if a paint or text object is selected.
To apply perspective using a vanishing point:
1. Select one or more vector objects or groups of vector objects.
2. Choose Path | Perspective | Vanishing Point.
3. In the dialog box, change the coordinates to move the vanishing point, or click in the
document to set the vanishing point.
To enter coordinates: Type coordinate values in the text boxes. Coordinates are based
on the document’s rulers.
To set the vanishing point visually: Click Choose. Move the pointer and click to set
the vanishing point. The coordinates of the point you click appear in the text boxes.
To restore the previous vanishing point coordinates: Click Reset.
4. Click OK to apply the perspective effect.
