Blend Tool and Object's Blend

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there any difference between Blend Tool (W) and Object's Blend?

I see no difference.

The blend tool will let you click on anchor points to influence the blend result.

the difference is the same as in any "automatic/manual" pairs: Blend Tool gives faster using (no time waste for walking through menu) and more controllable result.

When you have two (or more) objects in the desired stacking order and an open no fill/no stroke path, then the menu command (or its shortcut) allows you to blend these objects along the path as a spine in one go. It can't get any faster than that.

Often you also get better results when using the spine like this (and not exchanging it afterwards)
