I have a simple shapr that I want to trace and then clean up a bit but can not find the auto trace tool in Illustrator CS for Windows.

Can anyone help ?

Right underneath the Blend tool.

I tried it to see if it's still the piece of garbage it's always been, and whaddayaknow, it seems to work better than in the past. Maybe it's just my imagination, though...

AH I looked around and found an online tutorial. It seems that i have to click on the blend tool and drag to the right to expand the menu to show the trace icon.

It doesn't work very well but it's ok for now

Any decent plug ins to to this ?

Thanks

Tony:

If you drag to the right of the tool, there's a right-facing arrow, settle on that and you can "tear off" the tool and put it anywhere.

Good post. Thanks a lot. I was also beginning to doubt my sanity but that works!
