Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to draw a smooth, symetrical bell curve for a powerpoint presentation. the drawing tools in Illustrator are pretty terrible, so I am trying to make this object in Illustrator. It seems like a simple problem but I am unable to make a shape or line that is really smooth and professional looking. Anyone got any ideas or willing to take a shot for a few $? Really this must be simpler than I think, but I've run out of time to finish the project - can anyone help?

Thu, August 3, 2006 - 9:29 PMi'd use the grid and guides to set symmetrical points, making sure that the direction handles on the points stay horizontal... or just drop me a line on Tribe and i'll make one for ya... no charge... -

I'll keep it on my site so you all can get at it when you need it.
