With Xtream Path, drag anywhere on a path without working around direction lines and control points. With useful tools, filters, and effects, Xtream provides the flexibility and accuracy needed when using Illustrator. Illustrator users must do at least some path editing. Editing paths can be tedious and time consuming. Xtream Path, a Plug-in for Illustrator offers simplicity by reducing the number of steps needed to work on paths.

Xtream Path boasts 36 tools and filters, and its editing capability offers simplicity, creativity, and accuracy. It provides flexibility and functionality to do almost anything to a path.

Xtream Path enables novices to edit paths just like the pros in no time! Editing paths is among the most essential skills needed to work efficiently in Illustrator, but Xtream Path is so intuitive and easy to use that beginners will be manipulating paths as if they had been using Illustrator for years.

Traditionally, paths were edited using control points and direction lines. There was no way around it. Now, with Xtream Path, that is a thing of the past. Xtream Path enables the user to click anywhere on a path and drag to make adjustments to the segment. It is that simple! Edit paths more intuitively by pointing directly to the place to edit rather than selecting, adjusting, and working around direction lines and control points.

Xtream Path offers plenty of creative tools. Pick an existing font and the smart rounding effect will instantly round sharp edges to add warmth or friendliness to the font in just a couple of steps. Creating a patterned object is also a breeze. Select artwork and arrange it neatly throughout the document to make wall paper. The tremendous flexibility ensures the result is precisely what the user wanted.

Editing one particular segment of a path and maintaining the same precise Bezir curve is no easy task. In the past, illustrators used the eyeball method, comparing side by side. With Xtream Path, obtain the numerical information of a direction line's length and direction by simply clicking on a segment. Taking advantage of the numeric edit tool, easily repeat the same Bezir curve on a different segment. It is as easy as copying and pasting, and you've never been more accurate.
