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, extrusions, and objects created with the Artistic media tool. 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.
