I've been working on a path repair tool for Adobe Illustrator similar to the ones found in Flexisign that allow you to select two points on a path and create a new path via a line, a corner or a curve between the two points with a live preview. I made this to allow for faster clean up of dirty vector traces mainly, but it can be used for any situation where'd you want a quick line, corner or curve where you can adjust it and preview it on the fly. It's still not 100% perfect as sometimes the start and end points get confused depending upon the shapes length and complexity, but in those cases you can hit undo and try two slightly different points and it generally fixes the problem. I'm hoping to figure out how to fix that eventually. If any one is interested in the script let me know and I apologize for all the "ums"

Here is a link to download the JSX file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13opQI-GYBvZrcncjka0cCat2ayxTIQ6q/view?usp=sharing

Place the .jsx file in your version of Illustrator preset scripts folder (restart Illustrator) and then assign a hot key action to it using "insert menu" action. Select 2 points on a path and then hit the hot key you assigned to bring up the tool. Press C, V, L to switch between corner, curve or line options. You can adjust the sliders by using your mouse, selecting them and using the arrow keys on your keyboard, or by clicking the - and + buttons. You can adjust the preview style line weight and color below. In certain cases you may need to flip sides of the starting and end location of the path being previewed so it goes the direction you want. When you have the settings you like just hit enter or apply. If you are unhappy with the results just undo and it will revert back in one step.
