Erase - how to assign a specific brush ?

[cgidesign]

Win 10 22H2

APh 2.1

I often use a shortcut to change to the erase brush.

But this way the eraser uses the brush from the  previously selected tool.

E.g.:

I first use the paint tool with a pencil brush

I switch to the eraser -  the eraser is now also using the pencil brush

I don't want that. The eraser should use its own brush.

How to set this up?

I have looked through the shortcut settings and searched the forum but it seems I am  missing something.

It sounds like you have the wrong “Brush Tool Sharing” option set for what you want to do.
Go to Settings / Assistant and try changing the  “Brush Tool Sharing” option and see what happens.

You can assign a brush to use a tool but I don't think you can use a tool to use a specific brush

@GarryP

thanks, that did the trick.

@firstdefence

yep, found that out as well. A brush can trigger a tool, but a tool can't trigger a brush. For me the opposite would be better, but with GarryP's tip its ok now.
