How do I rotate and duplicate a line in Illustrator
Question
I am trying to recreate the line swirl in our compliment slip in Adobe Illustrator? I have been struggling for hours with transforming straight lines, creating waves, rotating, etc. but still can't get there?
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

The tool you're looking for is called the Blend Tool.
Here's how you use it:
- Create two lines using the
Pen Tool:
- Activate the Blend Tool W is the keyboard shortcut, or you can click it on the Tools palette:
- Click on the two lines you want to blend.
- While the blend on your artboard is active, double-click the Blend tool icon to change the properties, or go into
Object>Blend>Blend Options....
That should do it! You can play with the stroke colors and positioning, but blending the lines together is the key to doing what you want.
