Blending objects
About blended objects
You can blend objects to create and distribute shapes evenly between two objects. You can also blend between two open
paths to create a smooth transition between objects, or you can combine blends of colors and objects to create color
transitions in the shape of a particular object.
Note: Blending objects is not the same as applying blending modes or transparency to objects. For information on blending
modes and transparency, see
About blending modes .
Once you create a blend, the blended objects are treated as one object. If you move one of the original objects, or edit
the original object’s anchor points, the blend changes accordingly. In addition, the new objects blended between the
original objects don’t have their own anchor points. You can expand the blend in order to divide the blend into distinct
objects.
