You can easily edit the corners of shapes and paths in your artwork. Select one or more corner anchor points and then drag the new Live Corners

For more information, see the article Working with Live Corners.

Enhanced Pencil Tool

The Pencil Tool has been improved to facilitate better curve-fitting, auto-closing of paths, and drawing of constrained and unconstrained straight-

line segments. Enhancements have been extended to the Brush, Blob Brush, and Smooth tools.
