1. 0:00hello everyone in this video I will
2. 0:02introduce you to the new illustrator
3. 0:04extension called grid it to enable it go
4. 0:07to window extensions and then grid it
5. 0:09you don't have to do this next step but
6. 0:11I'm not a fan of floating windows so I'm
7. 0:14just going to stack it into my right
8. 0:15panel it's just more convenient for me
9. 0:17that way I'll use one of the logos that
10. 0:19I made for a client of mine to show you
11. 0:21all the current features of this
12. 0:22extension the options that this
13. 0:24extension offers are anchors handles
14. 0:26outlines and grid lines let's start with
15. 0:28anchors to use it first select your
16. 0:31design click on the anchors button and
17. 0:33then click generate two things happen to
18. 0:35the design you selected first anchors in
19. 0:38the form of little squares were added
20. 0:40second a new layer named anchors was
21. 0:43added and all the generated anchors are
22. 0:45located on this layer so these are
23. 0:47separate squares that can be deleted or
24. 0:50moved if need be the purpose of this
25. 0:53feature would be just to show you where
26. 0:55your anchors are located or to generate
27. 0:57a cool image to Showcase Your Design
28. 0:59structure the next option works pretty
29. 1:01much in the same manner but instead of
30. 1:03anchors it generates handles likewise
31. 1:05all handles are located on a new layer
32. 1:07and can be selected separately of course
33. 1:10both anchors and handles can be
34. 1:11generated together the more options you
35. 1:13select the more layers will be added the
36. 1:16outline generates cool outlines of your
37. 1:18design with calm colors for fill and
38. 1:22stroke let's see how design looks with
39. 1:24generated anchors handles and
40. 1:28outlines now comes the most important
41. 1:30feature of this extension grid lines
42. 1:32select grid lines click generate and see
43. 1:34the magic
44. 1:36happen as you can see the extension
45. 1:38generated grid lines based off the
46. 1:40geometry of your design pretty cool
47. 1:42isn't it you can click generate all to
48. 1:45see all the features in action you can
49. 1:47use the generated grid lines to edit the
50. 1:49original design but with following all
51. 1:51the source material
52. 1:55geometry please note that this extension
53. 1:57is new to the market and currently is in
54. 2:00Beta release and hence is still under
55. 2:02development for example my design
56. 2:05actually has circular grids too I
57. 2:08represented some of them with red color
58. 2:10grid it currently can't generate or
59. 2:12let's say reverse engineer the arcs and
60. 2:15circles hopefully they will add it into
61. 2:17their future releases you can use it
