How do I close this brush stroke in AD?


Recommended Posts

With the Node Tool selected, on the Context Toolbar at the top, go to the Action section, and press the Join Curves. You will need both curves selected for this.

If there’s only one curve, select it with the Node Tool and click on ‘Close Curve’ on the Context toolbar.

This brush could intentionally have lots of light colored head and tail. In this Case, you may need to break the curve, and create an overlapping between start and end node to get rid of the visual gap. 
or copy the brush and modify the head/tail section to become a clean cut.
you try to play with the brush settings. It would help if you could upload the file.

This appears to be the problem since all the curve actions do do fix the open ends. Is there a way to modify the brush?

If you duplicate the brush, you should be able to edit the copy and change any or all of its parameters.

I cannot find the adjustment that changes the distance the brush starts and ends from the corner.

Looking at this further, maybe I will try to create my own brush. I don't think I can adjust the endpoints of the brush I'm using. I think that is locked into the brush when it was created.
