well Gary you've convinced me.. that contour tool is definitely cool -very useful for making an outline and shape combine, especially if you can type-in values. And yet another reason to stop using Freudhand I mean Freehand (it drives me mad) would be a 'close shapes' button instead of searching for an unlinked point in wireframe (I hate that.. "Is it under here? no. Is it under here? no. Is it.." etc)

And I'm so impressed with Illustrators smooth pressure pen, I'm hoping the new X will perform likewise..

(new?) Q.
