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. For this example, I am going to show you how to draw a perfect heart. I went ahead and drew half of the heart. Now, I am going to show you how to reflect it to the other side. 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. I like to also click on the “Preview” to see where the object reflects. Then, click on Copy. After that, the marquee selects both objects and right-clicks. Next, select Join, to join the objects together. Where Is the Reflect Tool? This reflect tool is located on the left-hand side of the  Adobe Illustrator
