Enriched workspace toolsMultiple artboards in your documentsCreate multi-page files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes. You can create artboards that overlap, appear side-by-side, or are stacked on top of one another. You can also save, export and print artboards independently or together. Multiple artboards have replaced the Crop Area tool. (See Using multiple artboards.) Tabbed document windows and Document Arrangement panelDisplay multiple documents in a tabbed view, or open them side by side so you can easily compare or drag items from one document to another. Simply click a document’s tab to open it, or click Close (x) on a tab to close it. Use the intuitive Arrange Documents window to quickly arrange your open documents in a variety of configurations. (See Manage Document windows.) Application bar and workspace switcherThe application bar at the top of each Creative Suite application provides menus and options in one easy to access place. Use the workspace switcher to quickly jump to different workspace configurations to meet your specific needs. Also along this bar, you can access Adobe Bridge and the document arrangement panel. (See Workspace overview.) Practical smart guidesSmart guides are now even more practical with unobtrusive appearance and behaviors. Instant pop-ups appear with alignment and measurement information, such as deltas between objects and angles of rotation (that you can specify) when moving or transforming objects. Of course, objects still snap to any alignment you choose to make it easy to arrange and transform objects exactly how you want. (See Smart Guides.) Quick, easy, and obvious key object alignmentThe Align panel and Control panel now provide quick access to the key alignment option. A key object is the one object that you want other objects to align to. You specify a key object by selecting all the objects you want to align, including the key object, and then clicking again on the key object. When selected, the key object appears with a thick blue outline, and the Align To Key Object icon appears in the Control panel and Align panel. Simply choose an alignment option, such as Horizontal Align Left or Vertical Align Center, and all the other selected objects align to the key object. (See Align or distribute relative to a key object.)
