Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial Pie Chart tool.

First draw out a chart with the Pie Chart tool.
Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial
First you put in the information for your chart, or import it from an excel file:

Your chart will look like this at first. (You might have a legend, too.)

I prefer colored charts instead of the grayscale default Illustrator makes. Using the white arrow select a slice and choose a color from your swatches to change it.

To make your chart 3d, select it first with the black arrow. Then go to Filters>3D>Extrude and Bevel. Use the settings in the example below:

Now your chart should look like this.

You can pull apart and edit the individual slices with the white pointer tool.

Since the title of my information is about mutations, I’ll draw some mutations on the different slices, starting with the dark purple. I drew the hand and shadows around it on a separate layer with the pen tool. I also locked the chart layer while I was doing this.

I drew the eye on the same layer with the pen tool.

I added some chemical bubbles on the green slice. They were created from a cut circle with transparent highlights.

I added tentacles on the last slice with the pen tool.

Then I added a title and labels.

For some charts you might only want to spice up the most important slice or the biggest one. Although most topics aren’t as fun as mutations, any sort of added graphics make boring charts look a lot better.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 Scrolling (or panning) a document

In this movie, I will show you how to scroll or if you prefer pan your Illustrator cs6 . And this comes in handy when you are zoomed in.

You can take advantage of the scroll bars down here at the bottom and along the right side of the Document window. But the better way to work is to get the Hand tool. So if I switch to the Hand tool which has a keyboard shortcut of H, then I can just drag my Illustrator cs6 around as much as I like. Of course, you don't want to have to go running after the Hand tool every time you need to scroll. So here's a better way to work. I will switch back to my black arrow tool, and then I will press and hold the spacebar. Notice that gets me the Hand tool as long as the spacebar is down, and then I can drag the document as much as I want. Now, what happens though, if you've got live t...
