- It has an adjustable smoothing slider which allows for minimal to ultra-smooth effects;
- This slider can be used manually or automatically to adjust the smoothness of lines or paths;
- The "Smooth" command is also accessible under the "Object > Path > Smooth" menu with the same smoothing slider;
