Thanks. After changing the controller to pressure, it works.

 

But if the controller wasn't set to pressure at the moment the line is created, then editing the pressure curve has no effect, while I don't see a way to change the controller at that moment.

Hi deekaybe,

 

Try selecting the line, changing the thickness then applying a pressure profile for adjusting the pressure after a line has been drawn.

Hi Ken. Fine to see you. Sorry for my late answer, I was on vacation for a few days.

I tried what you explain, but no success.

this is what I just did:

- Open Affinity, default canvas size.

- I select the brush tool (with the mouse, I don't use the tablet in this test).

- No controller is active.

- I draw a curve.

- I click on the selection icon (the first icon in the tool list).

- A frame is displayed around the curve, so I assume it is selected.

- I can change the line style (no line, solid line, dash line and texture). This works. I can also change the width.

- I change the pressure profile. No effect on the curve.

 

- I do the same test with a second line, but this time, I set the controller to pressure before drawing the line. The pressure profile applies to this line and I can change it at any time when the line is selected.

 

i noticed also another undesired effect: When a line is selected, its attributes are displayed above the drawing area. It says: "Curve, Fill: Stroke:..." and then, button with the shape and the width. When clicking on this button, a pop-up window opens where all the properties can be modified (it is a duplicate of the stroke tab).

When I try to change the line style in this window, I get the following situation:

- I can change to 'no line' as well as to 'solid line'. When i try to click on the dash style, the whole window moves a few pixels to the left and comes back. Instead of the dash mode, the texture mode is selected. I guess this is depending on the screen resolution. My resolution is 1600x900.

I'm seeing the same here, Dominique. If I choose the Vector Brush Tool, set the controller to 'None' on the Context toolbar and draw a line, nothing happens when I go into the Brush Editor and change the controller to 'Pressure'. If I set the controller to 'Pressure' before drawing the line, I can change it to 'None' (and back again) at any time.

The flyout with the attributes becomes wider (stretching out to the left) when I choose the dash style, so if I hold the mouse button down over the right-hand side of the 'Dash Line' button the flyout jumps back and forth because the 'Texture Line' button is under the cursor when the flyout resizes. I don't have a problem if I just click without staying in the 'mouse down' state.
