The hidden layers themselves are not a bad idea but in your situation, they're not helpful.Īlready by doing these things, you should feel a great improvement when using Illustrator. This is a better way than using hidden layers. This way, if you ever need to go back, you'll have a backup file. Then use a new file with the simplified artwork. One thing you can do before merging your shapes/paths together and simplifying them is to keep your original file with all the shapes intact in a separate file. It doesn't help if each layer gets duplicated even the hidden layers still count as data.Īs you mentioned, you can use the "outline preview" to help yourself a bit but you might also need to join some shapes together with the pathfinder tool, "simplify" your paths and clean up your artwork. If you have 500-1000 shapes, yes this can definitely be a factor that affects the performance of your software. Your issue is not related to the new Illustrator but to your own computer, how your files are built and your workflow. With the Path tool, you’ll click and create multiple points.
I’m going to go to the toolbar and click on the Pen tool, or the Path tool. And the more layers or anything like history and such will also count as extra work for Illustrator. Basics of the Path Tool Now let’s use the Path tool (pen icon) to create one of the leaves or flowers on our plants as an example. Ahh that spinning wheel! The more paths you'll have, the more calculation Illustrator has to do to render them.
