I forget who it was but someone on here claimed to be a illustrator guru. Well I need ya. I need to know if there is a easy way to create those swirly like french designs. The kind you find on fancy french furniture or a wrought iron gate. I really do not know what it is called exactly. Hopefully someone know what I am talking about.

I know I can do it with the pen tool but It will be incredibly tedious, was wondering if there is a short cut in Ill (actually or FW or FH)
