jackamus Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm unable to change the pressure of this line. Pressure.afdesign Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff MattP Posted April 8, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi Jack :) Select your line, go to the Stroke panel and click 'Properties...' and it will bring up the brush editor for this line. Move the 'Size variance' and you'll notice that your stroke can now vary its pressure :) Hope that helps, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Have I got to do this every time I want to change line width. I never needed to do this before - has it something to do with the updated version? Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff MattP Posted April 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 9, 2015 No, it's just that the default you have in place in that document has this set. If you have no selection and make the same modification to size variance then it will set this for the default for all future lines. If I make a new document, draw a line with the pencil tool then drag the pressure curve I can see that it is working as expected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Matt. How do I change the default back to how I like it for this doc and all future docs?

Staff MattP Posted April 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 9, 2015 You can actually now select an object, go to the menu and choose 'Edit'->'Defaults'->Synchronise from Selection' and then 'Edit'->'Defaults'->'Save' to take those defaults as the default defaults for future documents if you'd like? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have done this but I still can't change the pressure of the line. Although the pressure profile shows a change it doesn't appear on the line. File attached. Pressure.afdesign Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff MattP Posted April 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi Jack, I just tried 'Edit'->'Defaults'->'Factory Reset' and then 'Edit'->'Defaults'->'Save' and this all seems to work as intended now. There must be something odd about one of the line defaults that's causing something weird to happen with your current defaults. I'll try to look into that, but at least you should be able to get on by doing what I just said :) Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 That's much better. Thanks Matt. If you find a problem with my file let me know what it was.
