In this movie, we'll start our look at the subscribe plugin by drawing circles and arcs. I'll start by going to the tools and clicking and holding on the circle by points tool and then mousing over to the right and releasing to tear off this group of tools into its own floating panel. And when I drag with the circle by points tool, I don't have to hold down the shift key to get a perfect circle like I do with Illustrator's Ellipse Tool. I also get to see the diameter as I'm dragging, and if I hold option on the Mac or Alt on Windows, I get nice even values instead of decimals. And when I release, notice that the anchor points are oriented to the diameter line. I'll set the fill of this circle to none and the stroke to 10 points to match my other paths…
