  1. Allow Brush with tool to scale a pattern brush properly.

    When I use the width brush on a pattern brush, it scales the brush on all of the path to the widest bit used. I'd like it to scale only in the width direction, where I'm using it.

  2. Blob Brush Resizing Hotkeys

    Blob Brush and Brush Tool Resizing: It would be amazing if the key command that works for resizing the Warp Tool (i.e., Option + Shift + Drag and Option + Drag) could be used in the same way to resize the Blob Brush and Brush tools.

    That would smooth the workflow and increase the intuitiveness of the resizing function SO much. :)

  3. I want to switch off the circular cursor and use only the brush icon or the cross

    Does anybody know how to switch off the circular cursor and use only the brush icon or the cross.

    I try Caps Lock and the precision cursor, it does not disable the circle.

  4. Paint Brush Fidelity

    Old illustrator use to let you change the paint brush fidelity with decimal increments. Now there are just 5 options. Can adobe please just change the slider so we can have more options to choose from? The jumps in fidelity options are just too big and it makes drawing a pain.

  5. Blob brush in touch mode

    I work with a Wacom mobilestudiopro and I really like the touch mode but the blob brush is not accessible in this mode. It will be really helpful if you can add this brush. Thanks a lot

  6. Brush Groups

    I would like to be able to select several brushes in the Brush palette, then press a 'make brush group' button on the palette.

    I would then be able to choose this brush group as if it were a brush. Drawing with this brush group would choose a different brush in the group at random for every new path I created.

    I might have a 'brush group options' dialogue box wherein I could choose the relative frequencies of the different brushes in the group, switch it between random choice and cycling between brushes in order, give it a name, and...…

  7. SQUARE blob brush would be great

    The blob brush is a really great tool for an illustrator like me, but it would be so much more versatile if Illustrator would made available a SQUARE brush next to the round brush.
    (CC Animate provides both round and square brushes and it is just great.)
    It would allow us to easily draw by hand things with square angles like windows, buildings etc.
    A square brush also makes it possible to draw in a woodcut style.
    You would even make me happier if it would be possible to stretch and/or rotate the (both round and square) blob brush.

  8. Scatter Brush 'scatter magnitude' slider

    I would like to see a new pair of sliders in the scatter brush options that controls how 'powerful' the scatter is.

    Each instance of the brush image would have its distance from the central path, as defined by the 'scatter' slider(s), multiplied by this value. So if it was at 0%, any effect of the scatter sliders would be completely nullified, if it was at 1000%, the effect of the scatter sliders would be multiplied by ten.

    Essentially, I would like to be able to control how 'wide' a scatter brush is based on my stylus pressure. The existing…

  9. Add certain features

    I think you should change the brush type and make it as same as the Photoshop, as the brush of Photoshop is much convinient.
    Like we can use a soft brush or we can lower the opacity of the brush easily and same with the eraser tool.
    Now, Photoshop is raster based software whereas Illustrator is a vector based which is the positive point a for Illustrator.
    File made in Illustrator is much more useful and file made in Photoshop is much more on the attractive side.
    So we need Illustrator to be easy and convenient to use.
    Or else…

  10. Expanding scatter brush without boxes

    When I create a scatter brush of random circles and then expand the appearance, it creates outlines of all the circles, but also adds in a box around each circle. When I 'Unite' the shapes the boxes are included and there are too many to have to go in and delete the boxes manually.

  11. Brush tool stops working

    When drawing a complex shape with the brush tool it just stops working after a certain amount of time. I'm not sure if it is because it has used too many points to make the shape or what, but its very frustrating. FIX YOUR PROGRAM PLEASE.

    Anthony, if this is still a problem for you, please provide a test file (here in comments or via sharewithai@adobe.com) and some details on this:

    – does the behavior, once is happens, affect only one document or others as well?

    – does it stay when you save, relaunch the app and reopen the file?

    – does deleting some portion of the art fix the problem?
