در این فیلم، من به شما نشان خواهم داد که چگونه پروفایل خود را به صورت سفارشی خود تغییر دهید که در این منوی کنترل پنل ظاهر می شود که می توانید به هر طرح مسیر در هر سند که دوست دارید اعمال کنید. بنابراین به عنوان مثال، بگذارید بگویم من می خواهم یک نماد بی نهایت ایجاد کنم که این فونت را با این ادعا مطابقت می دهد، Adobe Caslon Pro. بنابراین Caslon Pro، درست مانند بسیاری از فونتها، نماد بی نهایت را شامل نمی شود، به همین دلیل است که شما معمولا باید به چرخش هشت در سمت خود بپیوندید. مشکل با هشت در سمت آن این است که به نظر می رسد دقیقا مانند یک هشت طرفه است. این را با h خود در اینجا مقایسه کنید که دارای این ضخامت عمودی ضخیم و این شانه افقی باریک است. در عین حال هشت طرفه دارای افقی ضخیم افقی و عناصر عمودی نازک هستند، به همین دلیل است که ما باید کاری کنیم که نماد بی نهایت خودمان را همانطور که قبلا انجام دادم، بکشم و سپس یک سوییچ وزن متغیر به آن اضافه کنم. و بنابراین من قصد دارم به جلو بروید و بر روی این طرح مسیر با ابزار ابزار سیاه را کلیک کنید تا آن را انتخاب کنید. و به این ترتیب، می توانم نقاط پایه آن را ببینم. و بعد، من به جلو بروید و Width Tool را انتخاب کنید، که دوباره دارای میانبر صفحه کلید shift + w است. و به هر حال، اشتباه را فقط با فشار دادن کلید w انجام ندهید، زیرا این ابزار به شما کمک می کند که حتی با یک w، که Blend Tool است، آغاز نمی شود. درست است، پس به جلو بروید و Width Tool را انتخاب کنید و سپس روی این نقطه لنگر بالا سمت چپ دوبار کلیک کنید و مقدار عرض کل را به 10 pt تغییر دهید و سپس کلید Tab را بزنید تا مطمئن شوید که در هر دو طرف به طور مساوی توزیع شده است ، و سپس روی OK کلیک کنید. و اکنون خواهید دید که وزن خط در پنل کنترل 10 پوند است،
00:01:31 and that again represents the thickest point in the stroke.
00:01:34 All right, now I'll go ahead and double click
00:01:37 on this left-hand point right there,
00:01:38 and I'll change its total width value to 24 pt like so,
00:01:42 and then click OK.
00:01:43 And now we're just going to go back and forth
00:01:45 between those two values.
00:01:46 So I'll click on this bottom anchor point,
00:01:48 change it to 10 pt and press the enter key,
00:01:50 or the return key on the Mac,
00:01:52 at which point you may notice that Illustrator
00:01:54 has helpfully created a bunch of width points for you
00:01:57 over here on the right-hand side of the shape.
00:02:00 Unfortunately, they're not in the right location,
00:02:02 so what you don't want to do is double-click
00:02:04 on one of these anchor points like so
00:02:06 and then enter 10 pt like we've been doing
00:02:08 because you'll end up creating this unfortunate effect here.
00:02:11 In which case, just go ahead and click
00:02:13 on that width point that you don't want
00:02:15 and press the backspace key or the delete key on the Mac
00:02:17 to get rid of it.
00:02:18 All right, now I'll go ahead and hover
00:02:20 over the path outline.
00:02:21 That's very important, by the way,
00:02:22 that you hover over that path outline
00:02:24 in order to see those width points,
00:02:26 and then grab this guy right here that Illustrator
00:02:28 created for you, and drag it down
00:02:30 so it snaps into alignment with the anchor point,
00:02:32 then double-click on it and change that width value to 24.
00:02:35 And then go ahead and grab this guy,
00:02:37 drag him until he snaps into alignment
00:02:39 with the anchor point,
00:02:40 double-click on it, change its width value to 10
00:02:43 and click OK.
00:02:45 And then I'm going to zoom in on the center portion
00:02:47 of the infinity symbol, and notice right there,
00:02:50 we have a width point.
00:02:51 And you may recall, this is that same point
00:02:53 that the arrowheads were pointing to,
00:02:56 and that's because this is the beginning
00:02:57 of the path outline.
00:02:59 And so you always have a width point at this location.
00:03:02 So go ahead and double-click on it
00:03:03 and change its width value to 10,
00:03:06 and then we should see, yes, Illustrator went ahead
00:03:09 and created one for me,
00:03:10 and this one has perpendicular handles.
00:03:12 Notice that.
00:03:13 So these handles here, go down into the right
00:03:15 where these go down into the left.
00:03:17 And that indicates that it affects the other segment,
00:03:20 the one that's crossing.
00:03:21 So go ahead and double-click on it
00:03:23 and change its width value to 24 this time
00:03:25 in order to make it nice and thick.
00:03:27 All right, now we need to zoom out
00:03:29 and check that illustrator has not messed with
00:03:31 the left-hand portion of the shape, which it has
00:03:33 unfortunately.
00:03:35 It went and added the total of three handles.
00:03:37 And to tell which one is good and which one is bad,
00:03:39 just hover over it.
00:03:40 So this one has a width of 10, that's good.
00:03:42 This one has a width of 9.691, that's bad.
00:03:46 So I'll click on it to select it and press the backspace key
00:03:49 or the delete key on the Mac to get rid of it,
00:03:51 and that also gets rid of that lump
00:03:53 that Illustrator created.
00:03:55 Notice this area is really lumpy
00:03:57 thanks to the fact that right next to the width point
00:03:59 that I created, that has a width of 24 points,
00:04:02 we've got one that has a width of 23.944, which is bad.
00:04:06 So I'll go ahead and click on it to select it,
00:04:08 and press the backspace or delete key to get rid of it.
00:04:10 And then this guy right there is wrong too, 10.537.
00:04:13 I never created anything like that, so I'll click on it
00:04:16 and press the backspace key or the delete key on the Mac
00:04:18 to get rid of it.
00:04:19 And then I'll just hover my cursor over the path
00:04:22 to make sure that I'm seeing
00:04:23 three width points on the right,
00:04:24 three over here on the left and two in the middle,
00:04:26 and that's exactly what I want.
00:04:28 At which point, I'll go ahead and press the V key
00:04:30 to switch back to the Black Arrow Tool.
00:04:32 And notice now that we have an infinity symbol
00:04:35 that does not look like a sideways eight.
00:04:37 It looks like it matches the actual stroke weights
00:04:40 of Adobe Caslon Pro.
00:04:42 All right, now let's go ahead and save it off
00:04:44 as a variable width profile.
00:04:46 You can see a preview of the profile up here
00:04:48 in the control panel, but it has not yet been saved.
00:04:51 So just go ahead and click on that option
00:04:53 to bring up this pop-up menu.
00:04:55 And then click on this Add to Profiles icon
00:04:57 and let's go ahead and call this guy Trio,
00:05:00 after this trio of lumps, and then click OK.
00:05:03 All right, now let's test out the profile
00:05:05 and make sure it looks like this line right here
00:05:08 by clicking on a line above it and then, once again,
00:05:11 clicking on the Variable Width Profile options,
00:05:13 scrolling down to the bottom
00:05:14 and clicking on the width profile that we just created.
00:05:16 And at first, it's going to look like it's not working right
00:05:19 but that's because the line width is set to 1 pt,
00:05:22 meaning that at its thickest,
00:05:24 the stroke is just 1 pt wide.
00:05:26 And so if you want to see it properly,
00:05:27 you need to take that line weight up to our desired maximum,
00:05:31 which is 24 points, and then press the enter key
00:05:33 or the return key on the mac, and everything
00:05:35 should look great.
00:05:37 All right, now the thing about width profiles
00:05:39 is that unlike swatches and selections
00:05:41 that you save here in the Select menu,
00:05:43 they are not part of the active document.
00:05:46 Rather, they are global preferences
00:05:48 that transfer automatically between one document
00:05:51 and another.
00:05:52 So if I go ahead and switch documents like so,
00:05:54 then let's say I want to stroke these hills,
00:05:57 I'll go ahead and click on one of the hills
00:06:00 and shift click on the other with my Black Arrow Tool,
00:06:02 and I just need to establish a base stroke here.
00:06:05 So I'll go ahead and change the line weight value to 20 pt,
00:06:08 and press the enter key or the return key on the Mac,
00:06:10 and I will get two uniform strokes as we're seeing here.
00:06:13 And now I'm going to shift click on this green stroke,
00:06:15 which, as you may recall, is 30 pt thick.
00:06:18 And it already has a variable width stroke.
00:06:20 So the profile option up here is going to appear blank.
00:06:23 That's okay, you can override it just by clicking
00:06:26 on that blank field and choosing Trio once again
00:06:29 in order to assign that profile to all three path outlines.
00:06:32 And then if you want the strokes to match
00:06:34 so that we're not seeing this difference
00:06:36 between the green and black down here,
00:06:38 then go ahead and click on the second color swatch
00:06:40 up here in the control panel and select black.
00:06:42 And now, I'll go ahead and press the escape key
00:06:45 in order to hide that panel,
00:06:46 and I'll press ctrl + shift + a or cmd + shift + a
00:06:49 on the Mac to deselect my paths.
00:06:52 And that's how you create your own variable width profile
00:06:54 that you can assign to any path outline
00:06:57 inside of any document that you like.
