Reshaping objects with envelopes


    Envelopes are objects that distort or reshape selected objects. You can make an envelope out of an object on your artboard, or you can use a preset warp shape or a mesh grid as an envelope. You can use envelopes on any object except graphs, guides, or linked objects (with the exception of TIFF, GIF, and JPEG files). You can use envelopes with paths, compound paths, text objects, meshes, blends, and raster images.

    The Layers palette lists envelopes as <Envelope>. Once you apply an envelope, you can continue to edit the original objects. You can also edit, delete, or expand an envelope at any time.
