In today’s lesson, I learned how the control panel recognizes and modifies different objects and how it can be customized.
The Control panel, or the options bar, offers quick access to options related to the objects you select. It’s very crucial since it changes based upon what you have selected and what you’re working inside of the document.
When selected, the control will show what type that object is, color, stroke and stroke weight, width profile, brush definition, and much more. For customization, head to the far right-hand side of the screen, there’s a button with all of the options that can appear in the panel. You can also move the panel to the bottom by clicking Dock To Bottom.
