I request the ability to use the Pen tool with a Brush style. You currently have to change each line created with the Pen tool to whatever brush style you want. It would be much better if you could choose the Pen tool, choose the Brush style, then draw away without having to change each line.
 
Kind of seems like this just hasn't been built in yet, because when you are using the Pen tool and click on the Line button (on the top toolbar) or Line section (on the right side) it will show the Brush button for selecting a brush but it appears to be disabled.
 
You can select a Brush from the Brush section on the right side once you've started drawing a line with the Pen tool and it will change that line into the selected Brush style, but once finish that line the Pen tool reverts back. Would be nice to have it stick without having to select the Brush style each time you started a new line.
 
Hopefully that all makes sense. Just a small but useful adjustment to help with the workflow.

I have seen this topic come up pretty often and thought maybe I should post this resource here.
I know some people need to have native vector arrow shapes in their work so I created a brush for that you can use until arrows are implemented fully in the the application.
 
Just import them into your brush pallet.
 
cheers :)

Not a stupid question at all… couldn't figure it out either…  It's actually very simple...
 
1. Download the brushes
2. Go to the brush palette in AD and select "import category" from the drop down menu on the right side (4 short line with a triangle)
3. Select the new brushes in your download folder (or wherever you've saved them) and click "open"
4. Play with your new brushes
 
It's that easy!
Newly imported brushes can be selected from the brush menu right beneath the "Brushes" menu label!
 
Hope this helps
