Converting shadows to shapes

You can convert a shadow into a group containing the shadow and the object (or objects) casting the shadow. The shadow is converted to a simple shape and, after ungrouping, can be edited. Note that after converting a shadow to a shape, you cannot use the Shadow Tool to edit it as it is no longer a shadow.

To convert a shadow to shapes

1. Select the shadow or the object (or objects) casting the shadow (see Selecting objects).

2. From the Arrange menu, choose Convert to Editable Shapes.

Tip

To convert a shadow quickly, right-click on the shadow or the object (or objects) casting the shadow. This opens the pop-up menu. Choose Convert To Editable Shapes.
