Turning transform copies into individual vectors?

  • February 1, 2021

I am using the transform effect to replicate a shape multiple times (around a circle). When this happens they are all 'mirrors' to the original and the original is the only editable shape.

 

Now that I have them in the correct position, is there a way to covert them to indiviual vectors that I can manipulate separately ?

      Of course! I can't believe I didn't think of that! 

       

      Thank you so much, I knew it should be simple.

      Hey. i am also in the same dilemma. Your suggestion would only works if those shapes are filled or using a brush. What about some shapes created using blob brush and there is no fill but only strokes. I want to edit the completed work. Is there any other ways  ??? TIA
