Don’t Be Constrained by Control Points: An Introduction to Extreme Path
Hello everyone! Today, I would like to introduce you to Extreme Path, a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator that allows you to manipulate paths and shapes in ways that you can’t otherwise do using Illustrator. One of the biggest selling points to Extreme Path is the ability to manipulate line segments without using control handles. I’m sure I’m not alone in my loathing of control handles. Extreme Path allows you to edit curves simply by dragging out a portion of the line segment. This makes the process of refining your shapes much more intuitive. In addition to Extreme Path’s line segment edit tools, it also comes with some really nice options to help you manipulate and rotate shapes. In this 7-minute video tutorial I will demonstrate how to use Extreme Path and use these tools to help you work in Illustrator much more smoothly.

if im not wrong Freehand used to have the segment direct edit
Yes, FreeHand had A LOT of illustration tools and ease of use that Illustrator doesn’t.
I have to say, $140 is pretty freakin steep for a plugin, no matter what it does.
