Applying perspective to objects

You can create a perspective effect by shortening one or two sides of an object. This effect gives an object the appearance of receding in one or two directions, thereby creating a one-point perspective or a two-point perspective.

Perspective effects can be added to objects or grouped objects. You can also add a perspective effect to linked groups, such as contours, blends, and extrusions. You can’t add perspective effects to paragraph text, bitmaps, or symbols.

After you apply a perspective effect, you can copy it to other objects in a drawing, adjust it, or remove it from the object.
