: What this networking grid style effect called? what is this effect called like dots connected to each other ? I want to create this effect in Illustrator , is there is any script or plug-ins

@Michele215

Here's another simple process: (no script involved). The idea is to turn all anchor points into circles. I use a scatter brush for better control.


Create a scatter brush form, based on a single circle.
Draw your "network" with pen tool.
Select and copy it.
Then go Select > Object > Direction Handles.
Hit delete key. You should be left with the anchors only.
Apply formerly created scatter brush to those anchors. They should
turn into circles.
Paste in place the copied network.
If necessary, adjust circle size using Form panel

I think "networking grid" is an apt description.

I don't think you'd need a script to do this. It's fairly simple to create something like that manually, and by the time you find a script and mess around with it, you could have done it already.

In Illustrator create a dot symbol, and spray the symbol randomly with the Symbol Sprayer Tool. Then Expand the symbol set. Then connect the dots with lines. Enable Smart Guides to make the job easier. The example below took a few minutes.
