Modify shapes with the Envelope modifier
The Envelope modifier lets you warp and distort objects. An envelope is a bounding box that contains one or more objects. Changes made to an envelope’s shape affect the shape of the objects in the envelope. You edit the shape of an envelope by adjusting its points and tangent handles.
Note: The
Envelope modifier cannot modify symbols, bitmaps, video objects,
sounds, gradients, object groups, or text. If a multiple selection
contains any of these items, only the shape objects are distorted.
To modify text, first convert the characters to shape objects.
- Select a shape on the Stage.
- Select Modify > Transform > Envelope.
- Drag the points and tangent handles to modify the envelope.
