The Dynamic Sketch Tool, part of the DrawScribe plugin, is intended primarily for those who wish to draw more naturally in Illustrator. Especially those who use a graphics tablet, such as a Wacom device, in their work. With the help of the graphics tablet, you can easily create a dynamic path line, but creating straight line segments can be quite a challenge.
