Question
How do you stretch a shape without distorting angles?
Illustrator is SO not my thing (I'm more at home in Premiere ... ).
So ... I have two thin long rectangle shapes, with the ends at 45*, and at 90* to each other. I wanted to simply stretch out the lower shape.
I've been through I don't know how many pages of help files on working with shapes and transforming and such ... and nothing would help me simply "pull" the lower horizontal one out longer without changing the shapes at the ends.
I finally set the ends to square, stretched, then reset to the 45* angle.
There's got to be something that allows you to 'pull' the end without altering the shape?
And besides that, I'd like to make them just one thing ... and yet, they're always two separate shapes.
