Illustrator 25.1 is live. New features include Enhanced Glyph Snapping and Repeat Artwork

[Om Nath Jha]

Illustrator 25.1 includes the following features and enhancements: 

Repeat Artwork – The popular Repeat artwork feature, which was initially launched with Illustrator on iPad, is now available on the desktop version as well. Repeat Artwork helps you create seamless repeats and patterns using a simple click. 

You can now also edit the Repeats created on the iPad version on the desktop.

There are three types of repeats:

• Radial Repeat
• Grid Repeat
• Mirror Repeat

Enhanced glyph snapping – With enhanced glyph snapping, you can even snap objects to angular guides. This helps snap your artwork precisely around the live text without creating additional guides.

Performance and Stability – In addition to these amazing new features, we’ve also worked on improving the overall performance of Illustrator by fixing the top reported issues. Here’s a list of improvements and fixed issues in the latest version.

Hi Om, I'm happy to see the Scripting API was also updated to support Repeat Art. Keep up with adding more features to the API.

thanks!
