Key Features:

Perspective Drawing
This release comes with perspective grids that simplify drawing of shapes and screens. Illustrator CS5 has 1-, 2-, and 3-point linear perspectives that enable faster and more efficient work. In order to make your work more convenient, this program has brand new Perspective Grid tool and Perspective Selection tool. With these tools actions like moving, duplicating, scaling and supporting perspective drawing become simple and easier to maintain.

These tools are particularly convenient when you draw a shape and then need to make it look correctly in a perspective. For example, this way you will enjoy simplified work with symbols. Just place it on the perspective grid and the program will provide your shape with realistic distance and depth. Resizing and adding text to perspective also becomes simple with these tools.

The improved work with perspective grids eliminates such actions as creating your own horizon lines and vanishing points.

Beautiful strokes
Illustrator CS5 features a series of updates that concern strokes design. By applying these tools you can make your work even faster and more convenient. In this version of the program users will find 5 main updates concerning designing with strokes.

-    Dashed line control. You can control alignment of strokes’ dashes, making them symmetrical and eliminating problems with corners and ends of the open paths.
-    Strokes with variable width. Here you can adjust width of the strokes in a smooth and simple manner. Users are also allowed to create width profiles and save them as custom ones, applying them later when needed.
-    Advanced arrowheads. In this release users can work with arrowheads in a simplified manner. All you need to do is to pick the shape and place it within Stroke panel. After this you can edit it, lock the arrowhead’s tip or base, and so on.
-    Stretch brushes’ controls. In Illustrator CS5 users can define the scale of brushes, stretch them according to your graphics while keeping the proportions.
-    Corner control brushes. You can add various brushes like art or pattern ones to paths and get superior, professional results.

Bristle Brush
Bristle brush is the simplest way to paint your vector work in a way that is close to the work with ordinary brush strokes. With brand new bristle brush you can enjoy absolutely new experience in painting. Users are free to adjust multiple characteristics of brushes, such as thickness, size, length, stiffness, etc. Setting the density and shape of your brushes is also very simple. Users are also allowed to save their adjustments, so they can apply them later with ease.

Bristle brush erases the difference between vector and usual images. Now you can get the most from both types and use natural brushes with watercolors and oils while preserving the scalability and editability that vectors are famous for. If you have a tablet with Wacom 6D Art Pen, you can get even more from Bristle Brushes as the system will respond to pressure of the pen. You will also get 360-degree barrel rotation.

Developing graphics for portable devices and web
Pixel-aligned artworks help to simplify the process of creation of vector graphics for various purposes. For work in such programs as Adobe Dreamweaver, Flash Catalyst or Flash Professional it is very important that your vector graphics looks as crisp as raster one, proving the standard for web with resolution of 72ppi. This is not the only way in which you can use pixel alignment as it’s very useful in rasterization control. You may also find anti-aliasing options helpful as this option is useful with work with text frames in Illustrator.

Alignment of pixel grids
Illustrator is often used to work with raster graphics as well, and Align To Pixel Grid will make this work more enjoyable. When you create any object or apply a transformation to it, this object will be nudged to the closest pixel edge automatically. You can use zoom to see precise alignment of your objects or add additional controls by selecting them in the Transform panel.

Anti-aliasing in text

Now you can add high quality texts to your Illustrator artworks that can be then easily read in gaming devices, handsets, mobile devices, and so on. Illustrator CS5 has Character panel that provides multiple options for anti-aliasing. Users are free to choose from Smooth, Sharp, Crisp and Strong and here this rule doesn’t differ from Photoshop. You can conveniently apply one rule globally or pick up a different rule to any object or frame in your project.

Work with artboards
Multiple artboards tool first appeared in Illustrator CS4 and in the next version of the program it was improved. Now you can have as many as 100 artboards in your document and work with each one separately, switching to various types of views convenient to you. Illustrator CS5 features a complete Artboards panel that is very convenient when you need to edit, reorder and rename your artboards.

Multiple artboards are recommended for use as this way you are free to work with several related projects simultaneously, and you can store all them in a single file. Such operations as sharing settings and content between these projects become very simple. Users are also permitted to align artboards to a grid or work with them as with individual files. One more way to use artboards is to define a different output for each artboard. For example, some of your artboards can fit HDTV aspect ratio, others – mobile devices and more. Creating an artboard within another artboard is also not prohibited.

Improved Shape Builder tool
In your artboard you can conveniently combine and edit various shapes. In order to do this you need to drag the cursor over a shape, create a new object and simply add color without any need to open other tools or panels. This is very time-saving.

Shape Builder tool may be liked by all users who work with Pathfinder panel. This tool is very convenient in applying such actions as editing overlapping shapes, deleting areas, merging various objects and so on. Another way of using Shape Builder is quick selection of colors for fully or partially closed areas of your project. The options present in this tool will help to define gaps in your project and fill them with color if necessary.

Improvements in drawing process
In Illustrator CS5 you will find a series of tools that will make your drawing faster, more efficient and automated.

Simplified drawing behind and inside: now you can draw on objects that are situated inside or behind other objects, and you don’t even need to pick up layers for that. Even drawing inside shapes or on live text is not a problem. In order to activate this feature, find Draw Behind or Draw Inside modes, select an object and apply the mode you need.

Coordinates and origin of an artboard ruler: in Illustrator CS5 there is no need to think where your coordinates are. Everything is oriented from the upper left. Old scripts with different orientation will keep it according to preferences set earlier. Users are also allowed to work with global ruler. This tool enables coordinates across artboards, so you can work with specific rulers for each one.

Simplified joining of paths: now you can join various objects’ paths with just a single click. There’s no more need to waste your time on selecting endpoints. You can even use hot keys to merge two or more paths. For this purpose simply press Ctrl + J in Windows or Command + J in Mac.

Integration with Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5
If you have Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 installed, you may enjoy roundtrip editing that is enabled in this version of Creative Suite. Now you can work in Illustrator CS5 and create your own design or artworks and elements like buttons and graphics, then open your project in Flash Catalyst and add interactivity to your work without any coding.

Even when you work over your project in Flash Catalyst, you still can open it in Illustrator at any time and make all necessary changes. For this purpose you need to choose Edit in Adobe Illustrator CS5 command from Modify menu.
