    Default Hidden Tools in Ai?

    I watch a lot of YouTube videos about graphic design. I even watch SkillShare videos too. But lately, I've been noticing that some of the designers have tools that don't show up on my workspace. And I can't find anything about it on YouTube, let alone SkillShare. One of these tools is the "Dynamic Shapes" tool. I can't find it on my version (CC) so I'm at a loss. Do you have any idea why I can't find some 10 or so tools that are missing from my software?

    I'm Totally Corn-fused.

    they could be plugins [ie you may have to buy some of them]

    illy has dynamic symbols, but if you are looking for dynamic shapes this may be it:

    Dynamic Shapes is one of the plug-ins from Astute Graphics who make an ever-growing range of plug-ins exclusively for AI. The plug in is Vector Scribe. Some are drawing tools which really assist in one's workflow and others are tools that AI doesn't have (but should) and others are neat add-ons that you didn't know you wanted, but can no longer do without. Their stuff isn't cheap, but not outrageously expensive either. If you are prepared to spend money then visit the link in the first line of my post. You will end up being both glad you did, but also wishing you hadn't!
