A shortcut I find myself using a lot lately is Ctrl+C > Ctrl+Shift+V to copy/paste in place, such as the header of one sheet onto the next. Very helpful video, thanks a lot

I wish I had watched your videos while in Architecture school... Would have saved me so much time and made my work so much better

[SamoScopom]

I didn't know about recolor artwork, I always used the "select same..." but this is waaaay better. thanks

The tip I have for others is Ctrl+F to paste an object on the same spot you have copied/cut it from.

Shift+O to enter the artboard mode is very useful for me. Thank you for the video, it helps me a lot.

Hi OU Graphics, loved all your tutorials. Can you possibly make a comprehensive tutorial on illustrator for architects (diagram making, line editing, etc.)? Would love to learn more about it, even if it's not free. Stay safe!

That mask transparency was just amazing! Thankyou so much

[Ar.Raghav]

Select > Same > Fill color/Stroke color/Appearance/...

This is something I use quite often.

We need more videos just like this, great work!

Also I have never used the transparency mask in Ai,
I always do things through clipping masks, but this seems like a good idea (since the clipping mask method requires a lot of clicking to get into isolation mode, and to fiddle with the base object to find the outlines..., it's a whole thing)

I tried your method now, and it seems to be really good
and you are right important thing is to double check, if you really really have 100% black as fill
but it seems like a nice tool if you don't want to have full transparency, so I'm glad I made the mistake to learn how to use it for more things

thanks

Very useful video. Easy to understand and follow. And hey, there's a typo at 5:57. You've misspelled the word 'objects'.

[sahlarallahyarov]

Make the trees a brush and then you can use it as the same as in photoshop, or make it a symbol and you have a lot of tools to resize and place them
