The Line color options allow you to determine how the brush uses the current line color attribute. Note that strokes with very large numbers of repeats can be slow to render. The brush design is stretched slightly to make a whole number of repeats fit the line. With the “Repeat along stroke” option the brush definition is curved to follow the stroke line and repeated as many times as necessary to fit the line length. Alternatively you can choose the proportional option if you want to keep the brush design in proportion, ignoring the line width. By default the brush is stretched along the line to fit the stroke. The scaling options determine how the brush is made to fit your line. Brush settings To edit the settings of a brush, select a line that uses that brush and then press the Edit Brush button on the Freehand Tool InfoBar. To draw new lines that have the same characteristics as an existing line, just click on that line and then the next line you draw will look the same. Any new lines you draw subsequently will use the same brush and line color. But you can change the color of your line by simply selecting it and clicking a color on the color line, or using the Color Editor. This ensures that when you change the colors of brush strokes the stroke color achieved more closely matches the chosen color, rather than just being a shade of it.Ĭoloring brush strokes By default when you select a brush and draw with it, the line you draw has the same color(s) as the brush. Brushes should ideally be defined from fully saturated colours. Otherwise strokes will tend to deviate from the line you draw. Brushes should be more or less horizontal. And if there is empty space along the top and bottom edges then the line won't appear to be of the correct width, it will appear narrower. If there is invisible space at the ends of the brush then lines won't terminate exactly at the points where you start and end the strokes. This means the brush will not introduce redundant invisible parts to the strokes you draw with it and it can also reduce the chances of rendering problems. Guidelines for new brushes If brushes are created from bitmaps, then the bitmap should be clipped to remove as much empty space from the outside edges as possible. Choose a suitable line width from the line width control on the top bar. It’s also automatically selected as the current brush, so you can start drawing with it immediately. After this your new brush appears as the first entry in the brushes dropdown on the Freehand Tool InfoBar and in the first “New brush strokes” folder in the Line Gallery. This lets you choose whether to make an Art brush (the default) or a Scatter brush from the selection, and to enter a name for the new brush. Just select the object and press the Create Brush button on the Freehand Tool InfoBar. Creating your own brushes As with Scatter brushes, you can create a new Art brush from any objects. Draw some new lines with the Freehand Tool and they will use the same current brush and line width. Double click on a brush design in one of the “(Art)” folders of the Line Gallery, to apply that brush to your line. Give it a reasonably wide line width using the line width dropdown on the top bar. Use the Freehand drawing tool to draw a line as usual.

in scatter brush definitions, which makes them much more powerful. It's now possible to use feathering, text, extrusions, etc.
You can now use any kind of object in a brush definition. This is an example vector brush design: And some example strokes using this brush The original type of brushes, in versions up to V10, are now called “Scatter” brushes because they repeat or scatter the brush shape at intervals along a line.
Art Brushes We are introducing a new type of brush stroke called an “Art” brush, which stretches the brush shape, which can be either vector or bitmap, along the line. See the Web Designer 11 release notes for details on these features. New Web Features This document doesn’t describe the new web features that have already been released in Web Designer 11 Premium, which are also included in Designer Pro X11.
