2 In the Object > Path > Perspective submenu, choose 1 Side or 2 Sides. 3 Control handles appear at the corners of the bounding box of the selected object. Drag any of the handles to apply the perspective effect. As you drag a handle, guide lines indicate the position of the vanishing point, which extend beyond the current view. •   If you choose 1 Side, the side of the object’s bounding box where you drag a handle will slant to a vanishing point. You can adjust the object’s sides independently. •   If you choose 2 Sides, as you drag a handle, the opposite sides of the object’s bounding box will slant equally toward a vanishing point located along the object’s vertical or hori- zontal center axis. •   When the pointer is on a control handle, a four-arrow sym- bol indicates that you can drag horizontally or vertically. To change directions, point to a control handle until the four- arrow symbol appears again. 4 When you finish, press Esc to deselect the object. Using the Vanishing Point command The Vanishing Point command applies a perspective effect to one or more vector objects. The command slants the bounding boxes of selected vector objects so the objects appear in perspective based on a vanishing point that you select. The Vanishing Point command is available when vector objects or groups of vector objects are selected. The command is not available if a paint or text object is selected. 1 Side perspective 2 Sides perspective Vanishing point Vanishing point
