I had a vector sign design program in the mid 90s that could create a block shadow on vector elements without the extensive process that we have to do in illustrator. I don't understand why Illustrator couldn't do this more simply if that program could do it.

Yes! I used to work in the sign industry and the sign program had a shadow tool that did this as live. You could change the angle or it could be perspective shadow or a drop shadow. The program is called flexisign. Why illustrator could never do this I have never understood. Trying to do this with the blend tool takes to many steps and the edge is not smooth. You can do this and create one path instead of merging many. It also, needs to have an option to add an outline or a space between type/object or not. We use this alot in apparel graphic design.

I can't understand why Illustrator can't do a simple block shadow for type and objects. I too worked in the sign industry in the mid to late 90s and Tyler is correct with his comments. You used to be able to do this simply in the sign program and yet Illustrator, which is supposedly the top graphic illustration program in the world cannot do this. I work in the apparel industry and we would be using this feature regularly. You could grab the shadow and just put it where you want it and the program would create the smooth lines connecting to the main object. You could also put an outline around it and then add the block shadow. It was so simple. You could grab the shadow when creating it and drag it around to where you wanted it. Now they say create it in Neo that is coming, but why should I have to leave Illustrator to do this? I've been wondering this for years and don't understand. Example video link below. The original poster for this suggestion has plenty of resource material to explain what we are wanting. We could do this on type and objects back in the day. The work around now for Illustrator is time consuming and clunky. Make it easy for us Adobe. I've been to Adobe Max twice and asked both times why this isn't part of Illustrator. I've been told submit it to our uservoice website. Well, here I am again.
