Idea for the Path brush tool



  • Discovered the Path Brush Tool and could not found out
    (Found it later) how to change the Brushsize of it.
    You have to press the Enter or Return Key to get the
    Panel where the size could be changed.

    This leads me to the Idea, that maybe an addional Text Info
    in the Tooltip was helpful for New users to find out that
    more easely. Dont know if this make sense.

    The aktual ToolTip Text looks like this:
    "Path Brush Tool - Add to object shapes using the path brush tool"

    The new one could look like this:
    "Path Brush Tool - Add to object shapes using the path brush tool
    / press Enter or Return Key for Brushsize Panel"

    Note: The Path Brush Tool seems to have two different Names ?
    In the Helpfile it is call "Expand Tool" and in the Toolbox
    is it Named "Path Brush Tool".

    @Subpath Options can also be accessed with double click on the tool icon. I will add this to the tool tip.



  • @Subpath Path Brush tool size can also be edited using the bracket keys. Left bracket for smaller and the right bracket for larger sizing.
    side note - it's not applicable with the path brush tool, but with brush and pencil and pen tools, you can alter the width of the selected stroke with the bracket keys as well for instant modifying

    @vectoradmin - I like the double click on the tool to get the corresponding panel! I had always chosen the tool first and then gone and clicked on the screen to get the panel to appear - nice you can do it right away in the toolbar as well



  • @vectoradmin good to know, thanks



  • @Boldline thanks for the tip
