Scribbling and tweaking
Scribbling randomly distorts objects by moving anchor points away from the original object. Tweaking randomly distorts objects by moving anchor points on the selected object by an amount that you specify. You can apply the Scribble & Tweak command as a filter or as an effect (see Using effects.)
To scribble and tweak an object: - Do one of the following:
- To apply the command as a filter, select the object to scribble or tweak. Then choose Filter > Distort > Scribble & Tweak.
- To apply the command as an effect, select an object or group in the artwork, or target an item in the Layers palette. (For more information on targeting, see Changing the appearance of artwork using the Layers palette.) Then choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Scribble & Tweak.
- Select Relative to distort by a percentage of the size of the object or Absolute to distort a specific amount.
- In the Horizontal and Vertical text boxes, enter the amount to move points or drag the sliders.
- Select options for the anchor points:
- Anchor Points moves anchor points. Deselecting this option keeps anchor points anchored while a filter is applied to the rest of the object.
- "In" Control Points moves control points that lead into anchor points on the path.
- "Out" Control Points moves control points that lead out of anchor points on the path.
- Because results vary, select Preview to preview the effect before you apply it, and click OK.
