Path creation and manipulation tools In the category of tools, the offerings are much more varied, providing everything from basic path creation tools to effects to manipulation tools designed for a single purpose. In this collection, you'll find 33 such tools, many of which are designed as replacements for Illustrator's own tools. Some double up on Illustrator's built-in capabilities but provide easier ways of manipulating paths. And others will allow you to do things with a few clicks that might otherwise have taken several minutes to accomplish with Illustrator's built-in features.

Like all of the tools in this collection, when selected, these three creation tools call up a dialog box that remains open as long as the tool is in use, providing you with easy access to options, such as the ability to snap to a particular length or angle. It also includes tool-specific help text to show you various ways to use the tools.  Multi-Line, seen above, creates straight path segments of fixed, variable or snap lengths; Multi-Arc, seen below, creates arcs of fixed or variable lengths; and Multi-Curve creates curves that you can adjust interactively as they're drawn, rather than adjusting handles later on.  Also includes are effects tools for mirroring, rotating, reflecting and mass duplicating paths.  It also includes a tool for scattering an object all over your canvas and/or artboard.
