Creating custom mold shapes

You can create your own perspective mold and envelope mold shapes rather than being limited to those on the Mold Tool Infobar.

To create a custom mold shape

1. Draw the four-sided shape you want to use as a mold template using the Shape Editor Tool or the Pen Tool.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy (CTRL+C). This copies the shape to the clipboard.

3. Select the objects you want to mold.

4. Choose the Mold Tool.

5. Click the Paste Envelope button or the Paste Perspective button to apply the shape on the clipboard as a mold.

Tips

If you are creating a perspective mold, all four sides must be straight lines.

Envelope molds have four sides which can be straight or curved.
