just wondering who uses this and how it fits into your workflow.
other than coloring Live Trace art, it seems to me like a backwards approach to drawing with vectors.

It prob. fits some artist's style perfectly , but it does seem a bit useless.

Curious to see who is using this as well. It all sounds good but does seem backwards.

since the original post i have found it useful for adding fill color to other people's problematic artwork.. i don't think anyone in the fashion industry knows how to do a tech line drawing with joined paths.
that's pretty much the only use i've found.
i guess if you sketched very lose with a tablet in AI without any concern for closing paths then it may be good for cleaning up your art.

Hey horton,
The fashion industry is where my curiosity stems from. I had someone ask how they can take a palette of say seven colors and drag and drop them on their tech drawings to update all the fills so they can see what a garment looks like in each color. Do you know if this is possible? I seem to think it's not really made for that but more for what you suggested.
- Possible. Load a (custom) swatch pallette into livetrace and trace again with palette selectedBypasser
