I just started using this Illustrator plugin, and it’s quite wonderful. Turns out there are a lot of reasons for various kinds of symmetrical drawing or transforming. Although it’s unendingly fun to play with, it’s also going to get a lot of use in my work. And like all Astute plugins, it’s a very slick, stable, and well thought-out piece of work.
