Live shapes – Rectangles and Rounded Rectangles

All rectangles and rounded rectangles have modifiable corners.

While each corner can have and independent radius value, all attributes are retained even when you scale or rotate the rectangle.

Rectangles and rounded rectangles now remember all modifications made, be it width, height, rotation, corner treatment.

This capability means you can always return to the original shape of the object.

Pen tool preview

The Pen tool displays a preview of what the will be drawn on your artboard, before you click and drop the next point.

This helps you visualize the next curve before you commit to the next point – this gives you much more control and saves you the time spent in drawing, reviewing, and then re-drawing paths that need to be re-done.

Anchor point enhancements

Fine adjustment of curves is now easier.

Enhanced anchor point controls allow unequal or different-direction handles to be dragged as you draw to control the smoothness of each segment.

You can even change a corner point to smooth without ruining your shape.

Snapping updates (point, pixel, grid)

When snapping is turned on, your anchor points and handles (direction lines) align to your choice of pixel, grid, or point.

However, handles snapping to the grid restricts the freedom with which you draw.

In Illustrator CC 2014, whatever you choose to snap to, handles are completely unrestricted.

When handles are not subject to being snapped to a grid, you have much finer control over drawing and editing workflows.

Close paths with better control

A task such as precisely closing a path is an oft-repeated vector art workflow.

In Illustrator CC 2014, you now have much better and precise control while connecting end and start points.

With this enhancement you can reposition a closing point or choose to break the handles to adjust the closing curve exactly as per your requirement.

Experimental feature: GPU Performance (Windows-only)

Illustrator CC 2014 can leverage the power of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on your computer.

At this experimental stage, Windows 7 or 8 users that have a compatible NVIDIA graphics card can test the GPU Performance feature.

Typekit: Missing fonts workflow

Locally-available and Typekit-based fonts can easily be interspersed in Illustrator CC artwork.

However, there may be occasions when you open an artwork file on different computer, and find a few fonts missing.

In such a situation, any Text elements using unavailable fonts are highlighted in pink, and are rendered using a default font.

From Illustrator CC 2014, the online Typekit desktop font library is automatically searched for the missing font.

If the missing font is available online you have the option of syncing it to your current computer.
