Tweaking
The Tweak command randomly curves and distorts path segments inward and outward. You can also apply this command to a fill or stroke added to a bitmap object with the Appearance palette. You can apply the Tweak command as a filter or as an effect. Effects are live, which means you can apply an effect command to an object and then continue to modify or remove the effect at any time. (See Comparing filters and effects.)
To tweak an object: - Select the object.
- Do one of the following:
- To apply the command as a filter, choose Filter > Distort > Tweak.
- To apply the command as an effect, choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Tweak.
- Either enter distortion amounts in the Horizontal and Vertical text boxes or drag the sliders.
- Select one of the following Size unit options (used to set the maximum length for segment paths):
- Relative to distort by a percentage of the object's size.
- Absolute to distort by a specific amount.
- Select any of the following:
- Anchor Points to move anchor points. Deselecting this option keeps anchor points in their original locations.
- "In" Control Points to move control points that lead into anchor points on the path.
- "Out" Control Points to move control points that lead out of anchor points on the path.
- Preview to preview the effect in the document window.
