VectorStyler is an advanced illustration and vector graphics software, with a large and new feature set and workflow improvements. VectorStyler is developed with the goal of providing all the capabilities, designers and illustrators are familiar with, while also introducing new innovative features.
## Improved workflow

* Non-destructive image and shape effects can be manipulated directly and interactively on the objects.
* Powerful snapping options to align objects and shapes, including collision and formation snapping.
* Create guidelines at any angle, group guidelines and use different colors per guideline group.
* Work seamlessly with multiple documents.
* Multiple views of the same document: edit a symbol in one view, see changes in the other view.
* Link documents and reuse symbols and styles from other documents.
* Real time, direct editing of objects and styles.
* Context dependent Properties panel.

## Vector graphics and illustrations
* Import native editable AI files, including tiling patterns, vector brushes, styles and effects available for reuse and adjustment.
* Use real vector brushes, stretching vector graphics along shapes to create brush paint effects.
