Perspective drawing
Introducing perspective drawing
In Illustrator CS5, you can easily draw or render artwork in perspective using a feature set that works on established
laws of perspective drawing.
Perspective grid allows you to approximately represent a scene on a flat surface, as it is naturally perceived (by the
human eye). For example, a road or a pair of railway tracks, which seem to meet or vanish in the line of vision.
The following features in Illustrator facilitate drawing in perspective:
• Utilities to define or edit one, two, and three vanishing point perspectives in a document.
• Control different perspective-defining parameters interactively.
• Create objects directly in perspective.
• Bring existing objects in perspective.
• Transform objects in perspective (move and scale objects).
• Move or duplicate objects toward a perpendicular plane (perpendicular movement).
• Define real work objects and draw objects with the specified real world measurements in perspective.

Perspective grid presets
Illustrator provides presets for one-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives.
