Can I explode a transformed object in Illustrator?



Can I explode a transformed object in Illustrator?


Question

I created a circle in illustrator.

To create an array, I added Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform.

The problem is, now I want the array of circles to be individual objects.

Is it possible to explode them somehow?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Object > Expand Appearance (if available)

And

Object > Expand

--or--

Object > Flatten Transparency and move the slider all the way to the right.
