knvb Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Hi, I am running a trial and cant readily figure out these 2 items In Designer v2: Issue 1 1. Reselect a vector brush stroke already made 2. Then select Brush tool 3. My brush tool does not hold the attributes of what I just selected Issue 2 1. Change vector Brush to another style 2. The point size of that new brush goes from 3 pt to 30pt? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hi knvb. Currently the "recent brushes" feature only applies to raster brushes, which allows you to select any previously used/modified brush from a layer and begin painting with it. At present, the only way to do this is to save your altered vector brushes. (size adjustments are saved with the brush). Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knvb Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thank you Lee! Can you send me a link on how to save those brushes and also save a custom swatch set so I can pick from over and over while designing in the same file, the swatches seem to never go past 2 rows in vector mode or you lose some being replaced by newer ones? ....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My personal preference is to create a new category for the project, right click the brush I want a few variations of and copy to category, then edit the brush sizes as I require. https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Panels/brushesPanel.html?title=Brushes panel Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
