      Q1: Once a pattern brush has been created from a vector shape, is it then possible to break apart the line drawn with the brush, in a similar way to that of expanding a blend into a group of objects?

      Copy and pasting via Affinity Designer (for example) shows the line is definitely still made from individual vector shapes, as per the blue objects in the attached screenshot.

      Q2: How does one delete a pattern brush once created?

      Thanks : ☺

        Hi

        to Q1:
        Select your Pattern Brush
        go to "Styles" and choose > Expand Stroke
        then go to "Objects" and choose > Ungroup All
        Now you will have separate Objects.

            to Q2:
            go to Menu "Panels" choose "Presets" > "Brush Presets"
            select the Brush you dont want
            and press the "X" Symbol on the right.

              Ah, brilliant. My test brushes were beginning to pile up a bit!
              Thanks again!
