...no longer following this topic...

Yes, to the former. Thx again.

Oh I see. That is pretty cool. But you have to enter the value every single time; as opposed to the Nudge Tool setting. I can see what you've pointed out could be usefull tho. Thank you.

That's me saying "I have no idea what you mean by that". "A simple way to do this is to select the object & use the Transform panel with an expression like +600 in the X or Y field." You mean an expression like an After Effects expression? That sounds like more work than setting a nudge distance. =\

Dewd?

Nevermind Settings> Tools > Nudge Distance kbye

I can't figure out how to make a selected object move exactly 600 px. All I can find lets me move only up to 6 pixels. Hate to say what we all hear; but it's easy to change this setting in Illustrator. =[

Not sure we're talking about the same thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA_SFUcZTpg

Apologies in advance for requesting features "similar to" your Competitor's. =\ BUT.... having the ability to save Layer Comps would be so amazing!! Continued gratitude for an amazing product. Best, sweaty | reno | nv

You too, D! Safe Holidays. =]

Thank you for your keen observation. That's why I asked the question. I like vector; my Directors like raster. Dunno how to break the question down any simpler.

Thanks for all the fish, Everybody!

Orc = good. lobster = not so good. The solution (if there is one) doesn't HAVE to be done in AD. Which is why I mentioned a possible PSD solution earlier. I only posted the question here thinking that other AD folks may have encountered a similar situation.

Good points. However, I don't care about flexibility and scalability. I prefer to "draw" in vectors for the speed specifically. When I first read about AD combining the two AS WELL AS employing vectors I thought "Eureka!". Fast forward almost two years to today....putting a blur on shapes (still scalable, but I don't care) has been a blessing.

@JimmyJackThanks! That sounds like an interesting idea!! But... 1) wouldn't I then have to pain the stroke separately from the inner shapes 2) I don't know how to do this. 😕
