VectorScribe

VectorScribe is a powerful Adobe Illustrator plugin that makes it possible to enhance your workflow and perfect your design skills when it comes to vector art.

The plugin is easy to install and once the procedure is done, you can access all its features from the designated menus found in Illustrator. It consists of multiple panels that you can toggle to display depending on your needs.

The panels that can be activated are ‘Dynamic Shapes’, ‘Dynamic Corners’, ‘PathScribe’, ‘Dynamic Measure’, ‘Extend Path’ and ‘Smart Remove Brush’. These can be placed anywhere on the workspace or you can dock them along with the rest of the default Illustrator tools.

With the aid of this plugin you can edit vector paths, round off shapes, make precise measurements and much more.

VectorScribe comes with a ‘Smart Remove Brush’ tool that allows you to easily and quickly remove unnecessary points from your design without affecting the actual vector shape. It’s easy to activate and you eliminate points just by brushing over areas of the object.

The plugin also implements an intuitive feature which allows it to suggest how certain elements can be expanded or points moved. It’s this option that you can use to seamlessly expand shapes which have complex curves without ruining them.

VectorScribe provides a shapes tool which can create and modify predefined vector shapes. It allows you to have complete control over them by adjusting the number of points, segments, sides, height, width, diameter and other parameters.

If you’re working on designs that need to have predefined dimensions, VectorScribe offers you a tool which can be used to measure lengths and angles on both simple and complex elements.
