Features:-
What's new in Illustrator? Adobe® Illustrator® CS6 software is
powered by the new Adobe Mercury Performance System so you can work with
speed and stability on large, complex files. A modern, updated
interface streamlines daily tasks. Advanced creative tools enable you to
capture your vision better than ever. You can see all new features in
this article.
Work fast and with rock-solid stability
Handle
the most complex artwork with speed and stability. Adobe® Illustrator®
CS6 software includes the new Adobe Mercury Performance System, with
native 64-bit support for Mac OS and Windows® to power such tasks as
opening, saving, and exporting large files and previewing elaborate
designs.

Adobe Mercury Performance System
True
64-bit support on Mac OS and Windows®, with access to all of the RAM on
your computer system, translates into comprehensive performance
improvements. Along with the capacity to handle extremely intricate
artwork and complex effects, just about everything feels faster and more
responsive.
Gorgeous, sophisticated designs and large files are
not a problem in Illustrator CS6. The Mercury Performance System enables
work that was simply impossible before, and you’ll be pleased by what
you don’t experience — you won’t miss those out-of-memory error messages
or long delays in opening, saving, and exporting your most ambitious
artwork.
Prior to introduction of the Mercury Performance System,
working with artwork that had many instances of effects such as Gaussian
blur and drop shadows could be grindingly slow. As the technology
behind one of the most popular effects in Illustrator, Gaussian blur
received special attention and has been specifically optimized in CS6.
As a result, other effects with operations that depend on Gaussian blur
have also been enhanced, so you’ll see performance improvements in both
drop shadows and inner glows.
Interaction in general is more
responsive thanks to the Mercury Performance System, so you can keep
your flow going and freely experiment in new and creative ways. Moving
around and among tools, panels, options, and layers is super smooth and
provides a freedom in your everyday work not possible before. You’ll
notice a nimble, lively touch when you work with multiple artboards and
threaded text. Creative tools such as the Bristle Brush have been
optimized for both speed and efficiency so you can work fluidly, even
when you generate immensely complex designs composed of hundreds of
overlapping transparent paths.
Integration with other Adobe solutions
Move
projects smoothly from design to print or digital output, thanks to
tight integration with industry-leading Adobe Photoshop®, InDesign®,
After Effects®, Acrobat®, and more.
Industry-standard graphic file formats
Work
with almost any type of graphic file — including PDF, EPS, FXG,
Photoshop (PSD), TIFF, GIF, JPEG, SWF, SVG, DWG, DXF, and more.
Adobe PDF file creation tools
Create
more secure, multipage, graphic-rich PDF files with Illustrator layers
retained. Share files confidently with service providers knowing that
Illustrator supports PDF/X standards.
Save for web
Easily view, optimize, and save graphics for the web, with choices for format color, quality, and more.
Separations Preview
Avoid
color output surprises such as unexpected spot colors, unwanted or
white overprinting, overprints that don't overprint, and CMYK blacks in
text and placed files.
Resolution-independent effects
See
effects such as drop shadows, blurs, and textures maintain their
appearance across media. Raster effects look the same no matter how your
resolution settings change.
Live effects
Apply live effects without affecting the underlying artwork, so you can edit at any time without starting over.
Photoshop layer comp support
Control the visibility of layer comps in linked, embedded, or opened Photoshop files from within Illustrator CS6.
DeviceN colorspace
Place
duotone or separated images, preserving native colorspace, with DeviceN
support. Confidently print multicomponent and Hi-Fi color, raster
effects, transparency, and more.
Efficiently drive daily tasks and favorite features
Work
more efficiently and intuitively with a modern user interface. Familiar
tasks are now streamlined, from inline editing of layer names to
precise color sampling. UI brightness is smoothly adjustable to match
other Adobe applications or your personal preference.

Efficient, customizable interface
Take
fewer steps to accomplish daily tasks with a streamlined interface.
Enjoy inline editing of layer names, precise color sampling, and UI
brightness that's smoothly adjustable to match other Adobe tools.
Multiple artboards
Organize
and view up to 100 artboards of varying sizes overlapping or on a grid.
Quickly add, delete, reorder, and name. Save, export, and print
independently or together.
Crisp graphics and text for web and mobile
Create
and align vector objects precisely on the file's pixel grid for clean,
sharp raster graphics. Use text anti-aliasing options for individual
text frames.
 |  |  |

Inline editing in panels
Efficiently
edit names in layers, swatches, brushes, artboards, and other panels
directly in the panels themselves without using intermediate dialog
boxes.
Type panel convenience
Use arrow keys to change
fonts in context for selected text. Glyphs for caps, superscripts,
subscripts, and more can be accessed in one place — from the Character
panel.
Dockable hidden tools
Tear off and dock previously
hidden tools, such as the Shape and Pen tools. Dock tools horizontally
or vertically for a more efficient workspace.

Workspaces with rooms
Move
fluidly from workspace to workspace with support for rooms. Achieve
consistency across your work areas and maintain layout changes until you
actively reset them.
Control panel efficiency
Quickly
find what you need in the Control panel — consistency across options,
anchor point controls, clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more.
In-panel appearance editing
Edit object characteristics directly in the Appearance panel, eliminating the need to open fill, stroke, or effects panels.
Color panel flexibility
Sample
colors quickly and precisely using an expandable color spectrum in the
Color panel. Copy and paste hex values into other applications to help
ensure color consistency.
Transparency panel highlight
Easily
create and work with opacity masks thanks to a Make Mask/Release button
that displays the masking functionality in the Transparency panel.
True white canvas color
Set your Illustrator CS6 workspace canvas to white for fast color sampling when you need to quickly grab a pure white.
New Document Profiles for web and devices
Set
up new documents with pixel-grid alignment from web and mobile device
profiles, which also include relevant dimensions, color groups, and
more.
Refined graphic styles
Combine styles for unique
effects and increased efficiency. Apply styles without disturbing
appearances. Enjoy thumbnail previews and an expanded library of
prebuilt styles.
Practical Smart Guides
Stay oriented with
intuitive, practical Smart Guides. Unobtrusive appearance and behavior
keep your view uncluttered. Try aligning to objects on artboards rather
than the cursor.
Support for bleeds
Quickly set up
artboards for bleeds. Work with bleeds when you open a new document, or
add them later in the Document Setup dialog box.
Versatile slicing tools
Create
vector-based slices from objects, groups of objects, or layers that are
preserved when exporting your artwork as a SWF or PSD file.
Design intuitively and with precise control
Express
your vision fully and more easily with refined creative features.
Designing and editing seamless patterns, once difficult, is now direct
and intuitive. A new image-tracing engine delivers clean, accurate
vectors with easy-to-use controls. You can even apply gradients to
strokes.
Sophisticated vector drawing tools
Create distinctive designs with precise shape-building tools, fluid and painterly brushes, and advanced path controls.
Gradients and transparency
Interact
with gradients directly on your object — defining the dimension of
elliptical gradients, editing colors, and adjusting opacity. Even create
gradients on strokes and meshes.
Pattern creation
Easily
create seamlessly tiled vector patterns. Experiment freely with
different types of repeating patterns that can be edited at any time for
maximum design flexibility.
Image Trace
Confidently
convert raster images to editable vectors with a powerful tracing
engine. Get clean lines, accurate fitting, and reliable results using
simple, intuitive controls.
Gradients on strokes
Apply
gradients to your strokes — along the length, across the width, or
within the stroke itself — all with complete control over gradient
placement and opacity.
Perspective drawing
Use
perspective grids to draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1-, 2-, or
3-point linear perspective, creating the look of realistic depth and
distance.
Advanced typography
Design beautiful text for
virtually any media with professional controls for paragraph and
character styles, support for OpenType®, transparent effects, and more.
Dashed line control
Control
alignment of dashes on a stroke. Define symmetrical dashes around
corners and at the ends of open paths, with lengths adjusted
automatically to fit.
