Working with blended objects

You can blend two distinct objects to create and distribute shapes evenly between two objects.

The two shapes you blend can be the same or different. You can also blend between two open

paths to create a smooth transition of color between objects, or you can combine blends of colors

and objects to create color transitions in the shape of a particular object.

The following are examples of different types of blended objects you can create:

Blend between two of the same shape.

Blend between two of the same shapes, each with a different color fill.
