It’s been a great summer break, but now it’s back-to-school here at TechnicalIllustrators.org.
I thought I’d share what I’ve learned using Astute Graphics’ VectorScribe plugin for Adobe Illustrator (previously) over the past few months. I’ve put together a bit of a demo video highlighting some key features of the suite that I’ve found helpful.

This only scratches the surface—As mentioned in the video, be sure to check out Astute’s video tutorials to learn about all the features in detail. I think this package is a great, feature-rich and intuitive extension to Illustrator’s toolkit.
If you’re using VectorScribe or have tried the demo, let me know your thoughts in the comments!
This is definitely on the wish list. Do you know if it is only compatible with CS5 and previous and have to buy a new version when Adobe upgrades their Creative Suite or will it be compatible with future upgrades? I figure that Adobe has CS6 in the works and wondering if I should invest in it now or wait when Adobe upgrades their suite.

You’re right about Adobe, apparently they’re switching to an annual (!?) release schedule with CS6 slated for May 2012. (Source: http://goo.gl/UQUlx)
Not sure about forward compatibility of the plugin though…
Looks pretty sweet, I may have to lay down the loot once I have some free time to play around with it.
