Alter a Symbol or Symbol Preset
-
Learned that Pattern Brushes uses Symbols.
Now I want to alter a Starting Symbol in a Pattern Brush.
Is it somehow possible to alter the Symbol or Symbol Preset and update the Brush? Or do I have to make a new Symbol.
-
@Ayo Drag the symbol from the Presets panel to the canvas, modify it,
re-group it if necessary, then create a new symbol.
-
@Ayo Another way to have the symbol available for editing, is to use object roles (Pattern Brush Content role) on a group.
Then the group on the canvas can become a pattern brush content, and still remain an editable group, automatically updating the pattern brush.
-
@VectorStyler Then refresh!
BTW: why is outer glow not outer?
-
@Ayo You mean the 'Inner/Outer Glow' effect?
Here it is set to 'Outer' mode by default, and if you need it set to 'Inner' mode, click this checkbox:

@b77 said in Alter a Symbol or Symbol Preset:

Yes and found that but the effect affects also the inside of a shape.
-
@Ayo Ah, got it. Could be a bug with the Dilation value, not sure.
-
@Ayo yes there seems to be a bit of smoothing inside, can be replicate here also.
I added this to the backlog of bugs.
