Adding anchor points and handles on a logo or shape

[Rahat H.]

Is there any free way to make handles and achor points as a shape like this? It's mostly used on behance branding projects but manually adding handles it too much work. There's a recent built premium plugin but it costs too much. Is there any easy way? Like script or a different plugin?

I've approached multiple designers who can do this and none of them shared it. It's like a secret to them for some reason.

This is the Premium plugin I was talking about. gridit.io

Do you by any chance have Astute Graphics plugins?

If not: You might want to download the scripts

Dup at selected anchors

generate handles

Hopefully still available from here: https://design.tutsplus.com/articles/20-free-and-useful-adobe-illustrator-scripts--vector-3849

Generating those vertical lines? I don't know.

If you actually used a grid for creating that logo, then there should be guides or just lines. If you didn't use a grid, then maybe pay that money, because showing off that graphical fluff should be worth it.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. can you provide a tutorial or a screenshot about how to do this in a Astute graphics plugin? Also, the link you provided of tutsplus, it doesn't work. It also destroys the shape and converts it to a different shape. it kinda make all the pointy edges round. I was actually searching only to add cool handles without changing any shape of actual design.

Sorry that it didn't work out.

Here's another script: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/practice-script-to-convert-art-to-quot-perman...

And with Astute Graphics you  could use AG Architect:

Hi, thank you for waiting. I've tried the script. Not a good result but it's a good start! Thank you for helping.
