Creative Cloud Libraries
Browse and access your favorite creative assets — colors, type styles, graphics, brushes, and more — in new libraries that are available in Illustrator, Photoshop, and mobile apps like Sketch and Draw. Libraries sync to Creative Cloud so you always have the files you need, right when you need them.
Touch workspace
Access the full power of Illustrator on the go using a new workspace optimized for your Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or any Windows 7 or 8 tablet. Get essential tools for drawing and editing with a pen in a touch environment, including French curves that you can scale, move, and trace.
Curvature tool
Draw refined curves and straight lines quickly and visually. Click once with the Curvature tool to place points and see the curve flex around them dynamically, or double-click to create corner points for straight lines. Edit using the same tool — no need to hassle with anchor points and handles.
Join tool
Easily join paths that cross, overlap, or have open ends — and simultaneously trim unwanted segments — without affecting the original path trajectories.
Area-type auto-sizing
Say goodbye to overset text boxes. Now, area type frames resize automatically as you add, delete, or edit text.
Integration with the Illustrator family of mobile apps
Seamlessly bring in artwork from Sketch, Line, and Draw, and enhance it using the full range of Illustrator tools for a complete mobile-to-desktop design workflow.
Capture inspiration anywhere
Create custom brushes, graphics, and colors using the Brush CC, Shape CC, and Color CC mobile apps, and then easily bring them into Illustrator via Creative Cloud Libraries to incorporate them into your designs.
