•
Slice > Create from Guides command when you want the slice dimensions to be
independent of the underlying artwork. Slices that you create in one of these ways
appear as items in the Layers palette, and you can move, resize, and delete them in the
same way as other vector objects.
When you create a slice, Illustrator generates automatic slices to create a valid HTML table
if you save artwork as a Web page. There are two types of automatic slices: auto slices and
subslices. Auto slices account for the areas of your artwork that are not already defined by
slices. Illustrator regenerates auto slices every time you add or edit slices. Subslices indicate
how overlapping slices will be divided. Although subslices are numbered and display a
slice symbol, you cannot select them separately from the underlying slice. Illustrator
regenerates subslices every time you arrange the stacking order of slices.
