I would like to know how to make a shape such as square/rectangle/circle/trinangle to a specific measurement such as 7"x7" or a triangle that is 7 and 1/2 " high and 8 and 5/8 on each sides diangnols

or 7 and half inch radius circles...

thanks. 🙂

Really? YAY! Man, I've been waiting all day for someone to give me permission! Now I can finally relax! 😛

I didn't leave your post because I wasn't ever in it, unless you consider my quote to contain some sort of essence of my soul. In which case you must edit it out yourself because I can't edit your posts. I'm still going to stay in this thread, however. 😛

thanks buddy. ::beer:: have a drink with me while i hope someone tells me how to make a triangle lol.. i cant figure it out 🙂

how have you been? how was your day? why are you up so late? where do you live?

im in Rochester riight now just chilling out...do you need to work tomorrow?
 
Pick the shape you want from the toolbar, then click on the screen. Simple as that. Do not try to drag the shape like you would normally do, just simply click and a menu will come up asking for all the specs. 🙂

edit: That is how it goes for Illustrator CS, not sure about previous versions but I am pretty sure it should be the same.
 
I've been okay. Extremely bored lately, though. I'm tired of downloading, configuring, and compiling linux code though. 😛 It's only midnight here. I'm usually up for a few more hours. I live in northwest Oregon, USA. I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon. !!:beer:!!

thanks fora good reply man.
I know how to do a square. but for a triangle i need it to be 8 and 5'8" on each side and have it be 7 and half inch tall..

after i click polygon tool > 3 sides . it asks for radius and i put 28.825 but the triangle is way too big to fit on a regular 8x11 sheet 🙁 hmphh..im dumb!

Well you probably put the units as inches and of course 28.825 in will not fit on an 8.5 x 11 paper. I'm workin on the triangle (still kinda new to Illustrator, but getting better 🙂) but I'm lying on my couch and I'm just using the trackpad so it's going kinda slow.

Didn't you notice that the CD you were burning off the downloaded image was a bit small to include the manual? 😉

Sorry hoss, some of us actually do pay for our software. Got the Adobe Creative Suite with my student discount (required to buy it + a mac laptop for my major) and paid something like $400 for it, so suck it. 😛
