“These fan favorites were inspired by our feedback.”
We’ve wanted improvements to the Pencil tool for a while now. Thanks to us, Adobe made it a reality.
Snapping enhancements.
Design with greater control and precision in Illustrator. Snapping is more flexible and intuitive with a centralized panel. Snap to grid with clear feedback about where objects are snapping to.
Smart file naming.
Say goodbye to tedious manual file naming. Instead, organize your work in just a few clicks. Simply create a prefix, choose files, and check a box. Mass exporting of multiple artboards has never been easier.
Extract color.
Create a color swatch palette in Illustrator based on colors in a piece of artwork. Display the results as HEX, RGB, HSB, or CMYK, and ensure maximum precision when sharing colors for brand guidelines.
Save patterns & gradients.
Save gradients and pattern swatches to Creative Cloud libraries. Select Add Elements from the Libraries panel and choose Fill/Stroke Pattern or Fill/Stroke Gradient from the drop-down menu.
Paste on selected artboards.
You can now paste the same element on several selected artboards in Illustrator, saving a ton of time. Use familiar shortcuts like paste in front or paste in back to make precise changes, several times over.
