BetterHandles 1.2

1. Select multiple handles, and collectively move, extend, rotate, or retract them
2. Extend or retract handles without changing their angles
3. Edit points numerically: anchor, in handle, out handle
4. Convert multiple points from corner to smooth or vice versa
5. Automatically extend new handles on multiple points
6. Intuitively reshape path segments, optionally constraining handle directions
7. Use slow-drag to divide the cursor movement for extremely precise moves
8. Equalize a points handles
9. See all the handles on a path while editing it
10. Split a path at one or more points
11. Delete one or more points and close the path around them
12. Remove all redundant points on multiple paths
13. See when the cursor is over a handle, point, or path — without having to use Smart Guides.

Enhancements:

• New feature: Optional red highlighting ring around the cursor when it is over a point, anchor or path, with optional text annotations
• New feature: Remove redundant points palette menu item
• New feature: While dragging a handle, you can now move its associated point by holding down the space bar
• New feature: Additional status line showing the point number, number of paths selected and their types, or the multi-handle drag mode
• New feature: Previous/Next point buttons let you move between points on a path, for quick numerical editing
• New feature: New multi-handle drag modes let you easily create symmetrical designs
• Improvement: Cancel the current marqueeing operation with the “Escape” key
• Improvement: Single-point numerical palette values now update in real time on the Mac too
• Improvement: You can now marquee over one or more path segments to select them
• Improvement: Marquee-deselecting all selected handles no longer deselects the entire path
• Bug fix: Fixed memory leak during cursor movement
• Bug fix: Fixed selection state when deselecting a segment between two fully-selected points.

• Adobe Illustrator.
