Jeff-12345 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The "scale to object" check boxes on stroke and also especially on the various effects (Gaussian Blur, outer shadow, inner shadow, etc) are both defaulted to always being off. For some people's workflow, I'm sure that's fine and maybe even preferable, but for the work I do, I almost always want it defaulted on and it really gets tedious checking the box on the effects panel for every different curve/shape that I draw. Frequently I forget and then when I expand or contract a complex project, some of the shadows and effects are all messed up. Is there any way that you could give the user a choice to default it to always being on or off (user's choice) on your next update? lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This workaround works for me - just not for the vector brush: Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

BlueDonut Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yes this would really help. The default setting for effects needs to be there. Scale to object un-ticked when working is a royal pain. You have to go back and select. would be nice if it was an option on the layer panel, or at least in preferences to set as default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
