The Multitoolbox plugin is designed for use with Adobe Illustrator versions CS2, CS1, and 10. It offers a wide variety of tools to enhance and simplify workflow, including custom brushes and symbols, color management options, and the ability to easily navigate complex documents.
The set comes with an outstanding bonus powerhouse tool - a points manipulation tool that allows you to tweak paths in hundreds of different ways, giving you the ability to create truly unique designs, paths, and illustrations.
The plug-in set includes the following tools:
- Rows and columns tool: This allows you to create a grid of selected paths based on the selected paths, checkerboard and pattern designs, and different scaling of paths.
- Drag tool: You can use this tool to create a zoom/multiple copies of the selected paths, images, or symbols text.
- Soft center tool: This is a variant of the drag tool, working on the selection of multiple paths and a singular center.
- Frame tool: This tool lets you create a frame based on selected paths with many variants of frame designs. The plug-in comes with color options, pattern features, layering, rotation settings, path jitter, trace features, and many more to create stunning frame designs.
- Rim random tool: This tool helps you create paint tools, brush creators, grain and noise, and backgrounds. Plug-in re-sizes and randomizes the positions of the selected paths to create localized jumbles of paths (or symbols or images).
- Circular/windmill tool: You can use this tool to apply rotation and circular effects on selected paths, symbols, and images. It comes with many features such as matching cursor angle, color options, patterns features, repeat applies, different apply methods, different layering of path settings, and many more!
- Scaledown tool: This tool allows you to scale a selected path with repeat settings for twists and turns, blur effects, and much more. You can select a path or paths or symbols or images and reduce or increase the size of duplicated elements. Use different apply modes, color settings, patterns, and much more to create thousands of different designs.
- Bounce along tool: With this tool, you can create repeats and bounces and pulse effects.
- Spiral tool: You can create spirals out of selected paths.
- Checkerboard tool: This is a variant of the duplication tool but misses alternate paths.
- Paint tool: Select a path and paint in a variety of ways, great with the pattern/tile feature.
- Tile tool: This tool helps you create basic patterns in seconds and define a pattern swatch.
- Background tool: This tool lets you create a background based on drag size or frame.
In addition to all of these features, you also get the bonus "Points toolbox" plug-in, which allows you to manipulate points of a path in thousands of ways. The points plug-in works on the path's anchor points and direction points and stretches the path based on the movement of the mouse/pen and many different type of point combinations. The plug-in is packed with many different options to randomize values, interpolate points, create abstract designs via trace, layer/animation, and much more.
Overall, this is a must-have set of tools for anyone using Adobe Illustrator. With so many features and options, you'll be able to create amazing designs and illustrations in no time!
