sorry if this is common knowledge, but i just realized that illy cs3 has an eraser tool.....makes life so much easier than those scissors and saw from old!

i think it had one since illy 7

illy 10 had it, we don't have 9 rolling around anymore to check...

i don't think the old eraser worked like the CS3 eraser.. it just chomps sections out of your shapes, like linearch says adds to knife and scissors toolset... good stuff.

too 'loose' for illy for me to use...
... are you guys using a wacom tablet type thing when using the eraser?...
... i always find myself drawing my subtraction shape w/the pen tool... the subtracting what I want (erased) using the pathfinder panel...
... i suppose if I were working more organically in illy - that the eraser may come in handy... I've just never had a use for it (or realized what time it may save).

i'm just starting to Wacom in AI.. been a stiff learning curve but starting to flow now.
and yeah that eraser tool is def more useful for freehand drawings and such.

yeah photoshop is wayyy more easier that illy for a wacom...i find..
- I hate the time lag starting a movement with a wacom pen in Photoshop though.Studiospooky
