How to Use the Reflect Tool in Adobe Illustrator CC 2019

What Do We Use the Reflect Tool For? We use this  reflect tool to reflect  an object. This is my second favorite tool to use in  adobe illustrator . I will share why this tool is my second favorite.

First, the  marquee selects  this half of the heart (or we called it an object in illustrator). Then, click on the Reflect tool or press on letter O on the keyboard. Next, hold down Alt + click on the centerline. This will allow you to get a perfect reflection.  Make sure to select “Vertical” and 90 degrees Angle.
