Thanks for the vid, its been helpful. But im hnivag trouble splitting the inner path in half in CS5. Seems i cannot find a Scissor tool and i dont know how to use the slice tool instead. Any/ALL advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
heyhow do you bring out your circle tool?mine only have the rgatcnele tool and i cant change it to circle toolwhat should i do??i’m right clicking on it but nothing happensi’m using illustrator cs3 portableplease help thank you:)
Hi Slamet,
The Ellipse tool is hidden under the Rectangle tool. You have to click on the Rectangle tool and hold with your mouse and choose the Ellipse. Even easier, just press your “L” key on your keyboard to select the Ellipse. To draw a CIRCLE with the Ellipse tool, click and drag with the tool while holding down you Shift key.
Hope this helps
Best,
Jeff
