When you’re working with illustrations, it’s important to keep in mind the anchor points. Anchor points are points on a canvas that help you keep your illustrations in place. In Illustrator, there are three types of anchor points: anchors, which are used to hold an illustration in place; grid anchors, which help you create grids; and bias anchors, which help you adjust the position of an illustration. To adjust an anchor point in Illustrator, use the following steps:

  1. Choose the anchor point you want to adjust and click on it.
  2. The Anchor Point dialog box will appear. This dialog box contains information about the anchor point and its properties.
  3. In the Anchor Point Properties dialog box, you can change the following: • The anchoring point’s width and height: This setting affects how wide or tall the anchoring point is and how much space it takes up on the canvas. You can also change its color if desired. • The anchoring point’s location: This setting affects how far from the center of the canvas the anchoring point is located and how close to other elements it appears (grid anchors).
  4. The anchoring point’s orientation: This setting affects how upright or down-right an anchoring point is (grid anchors).
  5. The anchoring point’s position within a layer: This setting affects how close or far from other layers an anchoring point appears (grid anchors).
  6. The anchoring point’s opacity: This setting determines whether or not any part of the anchored image is visible when clicked (grid anchors).
  7. To remove an anchorpoint from a canvas, use one of these methods: #Elements > Remove Anchor Point
