I find the Select plugin for Illustrator to be invaluable ... and it's right here and it's free.

Great Link! I am really looking forward to trying this.

The only plugins I really find useful are:
Genuine Fractals 6 http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=7
Noise Ninja http://www.picturecode.com/
Vertus Fluid Mask http://www.vertustech.com/fluidMask/overview.html

"Effects" plugins are a waste of money and a crutch, learn how to do the effects yourself with the capabilities the program already has.

Without CadTools (hotdoor.com) Illustrator would pretty much be worthless to me...

I like "Xtreme Path" by CValley.... it lets you round corners individually, or by selected groups, or by the entire path to whatever radius you specify - - without destroying/altering the position of the attached path segments. www.cvalley.com

Man, what a great question -- there are several good plug-ins that make life so much easier:

CADTools by HotDoor is amazing -- a must have! https://www.hotdoor.com/cadtools
SelectMenu is also good -- adds a bunch of different select criteria. http://rj-graffix.com/software/plugins.html
Xtreme Path is also very good -- a little pricey, but well worth it!

I would have liked to recommend the Silhouette plug-in (raster to vector converter), but when I moved from a G5 tower to the new iMac it generated a new plug-in code that didn't work with my old activation code. I tried to contact the company weeks ago, but they have not responded to several emails -- this is a $300 plug-in! I even offered to pay an upgrade fee, but nothing...

cheers!

Anyone make a "CADtools" for Corel? The fillet/chamfer tool and the dimension tool would be great.

So that's my problem....I don't have CadTools. :Big Laugh

I'm guessing that Corel hasn't sent you a check for your constant promoting...
