Rotating Drop Shadows

  1. Default Rotating Drop Shadows

    I'm imposing long files for printing on our digital printer, and noticed that when I rotate the objects, the drop shadow our customer set in Illy doesn't follow suit. Now, I'm assuming that it's global, or in Illy, a set distance (x.15", y.15"). Is there a way that I can rotate and keep the effect relative to the rest of the art, not the global coordinates? Worst case scenario is that my art lacky will have to spend the morning re-entering the coordinates relative to the roatate (that's what lacky's are for, isn't it?)

    Cheers,
    BRU

    Bikes,

    The easiest way is to do an Expand Appearance before you rotate the objects for printing. The drop shadow will no longer be live, then, though.

    For other techniques, see this thread:
