AG Docs

AG Docs expands on our existing learning material to bring connectivity between the Astute Graphics plugins, Adobe Illustrator and our Astute Manager! This feature enables all active subscription customers to search, explore, and quickly discover where key functions can be found. And most importantly, it enables downloading as a PDF! To gain access to this learning feature, simply ensure that your Astute Manager is updated to at least v3.8. You can read more about it here.

Videos

We also offer a range of Tutorial Videos for each of our plugins and these can be accessed in a number of ways:

  1. You can access them all directly over on our Youtube channel

  2. You can also access the videos from our website. Simply scroll to the bottom of our learn page.

  3. When in Illustrator, look at the coloured bar at the top of each plugin panel, here you will find a menu option on the right hand side and ‘Tutorial Video’ is the third option down. You can also find them in Illustrator by going to Help > Astute Graphics > Product name> Tutorial videos.

  4. In Astute Manager – if the plugin is installed, up-to-date and activated, you can click on the 3 dots next to the plugin to find the Learn button. The Learn button provides quick access to the associated plugin training material hosted on this website.

⬩ You can view our quick tip YouTube Short series here.

Written tutorials

In addition to these Video Tutorials, we regularly publish In House Written Tutorials and 2-10 minute tips, and

AstuteBuddy

In learning to use our tools, we also recommend that you look at our AstuteBuddy plugin which provides on-screen live key shortcuts and works with all Astute Graphics tools located in the toolbox. The panel describes exactly what the currently active tool does and allows you to discover hidden features and work faster in Illustrator.

Cheat Sheets

We also offer a number of Cheat Sheets that will help you to get the most out of your plug-ins.
