SPECIAL EDITION - Graphic Tips The computer makes some perspective tasks very easy. A good example occurs in the drawing of the Capital buildings featured last month. The Scale Tool is most useful for true perspective effects. The Scale Tool has two parts. The first click is a cross hair locating the action "here at this point." The second click reveals an arrowhead which controls the action. It is essential to run a test to understand the difference between using the Scale Tool and the Blend Tool to create perspective effects. Only with the Scale Tool will the distances between objects near the vanishing point diminish as they should. Grouped objects will duplicate all their parts with the Scale Tool. This will not happen when the Blend Tool makes duplicates. I hope these tips are useful and I invite feed-back from readers.
