Thank you. I have illustrator 2020, and all the pens do not show on the drop down menu, but are separately placed. So I am very appreciative of this video.

Hi Audrey, happy to hear it helps! Have you try changing the toolbar to Advanced Toolbar? It's going to be more convenient since you get quick access to more tools :)

To avoid wasting time, I'll use select subject, go to PATH and turn the selection into a path, then adjust as needed.

[@IllustratorHow]

Sure, if that works for your purpose that's great :)
