Scatter Brush doesn't align smoothly to curve Hi, I'm using Illustrator 24.2.3 on an Imac late 2015.
Scatter Brush seems to have issues with curves. If I create a scatter brush from a single object, the line seems to follow the curve loosely in straight line segments, creating a very jagged effect. I've attached images to hopefully clarify. The thinner "smaller brush element" examples I have included are made from a small circle shape a little less than one pixel in diameter. The "jagged" issue seems to disappear, however, if the curve is large enough (see the 11-inch small-brush-circle below) OR until the stroke weight increases to…

Stroke Options for Brushes are not sticky macOS 12.1
Illustrator 26.0.2A brush is applied to an object, then its appearance is modified through the "Options of Selected Object" dialog box found at the bottom of the Brush Panel.
If later the definition of the original brush is changed — all the modifications done through this dialog box are completely wiped out.
I would expect these settings to be sticky.For example, if I flipped a brush across or scaled it for one path and then changed the colorization method for this brush, I would still expect this particular path to be scaled/flipped in the same way.

Blob Brush size is wrong I select blob or paint brush, pick the size etc, go to use it and it turns to a totally different size and brush. Tried resetting it all, closing the app and reopening, and check to ensure its set to what I want, but it changes to something different everytime

Too many brushes saved in Print.ai (Print.ai = 300 MB) disable Trim View, despite 32 GB RAM Trim View still worked in a new doc based on my Print.ai, until I opened the brushes tab, then it got disabled.

Blending paths with brushes and width profiles works wrong. Create two lines.
Apply art or pattern brushes to both of them.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.Scatter, calligraphic, and bristle brushes won't let you edit the width profile. I did however test with two calligraphic brush paths with different pressure curves and that was ignored for the intermediary paths. Please test this with bristle and scatter brushes as well.
(this is essentially a reopening of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41634754-blending-paths-with-width-profiles-works-wrong with a feature that was missed when originally implementing it, as such I just copied and edited Egor's…

Holding alt to make the Width tool only change one side of a brushed path snaps the other side to zero. - Draw a path. Give it a simple, thick stroke.
- Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side stays the same width.
- Draw a new path. Give it an art brush or pattern brush.
- Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side suddenly snaps to zero-width.
I would swear the Width tool used to behave as in step 2 on brushed paths? It'd be nice to get this reversion fixed. Or to make the Width tool behave consistently across different kind…

pen tablet skipping brush strokes works fine in photoshop but not illustrator I have Illustrator 2022 and Illustrator 2020 and it skips strokes some times with both versions. It shows a circle that represents the brush where I start the stroke and it also shows the brush symbol that is moving with the pen tip. The circle that represents the brush stays where I start the stroke until I finish the stroke and lift the pen, then the circle that represents the brush goes away, while the brush symbol is moving with my stroke but no stroke is being drawn. The brush strokes in Photoshop are fine, they do not skip strokes…

Illustrator brushes disappearing I have existing brushes I made in Illustrator that I have used for over ten years. Suddenly today they are disappearing in my files. I've rebooted and re-set the brush. I am using a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019, OS Monterey 12.2.1, Illustrator 26.0.3. Ever since the last big update for Mac I've been having a lot of problems in Illustrator. Please help!

Brush pressure sensitivity unavailable - Huion HS611 (MacOS Monterey 12.2.1) Option to use the calligraphy brush with pressure sensitivity appears to be greyed out, but all drivers are correctly installed and it works perfectly with Photoshop. Have tried most of the recommendations from the adobe forum but the issue persists.

Touchscreen drawing not working I am on a Lenovo IdeaPad, and the touchscreen drawing does not work even in touchscreen mode. Rarely will it show what I drew and even then, it is after I have lifted my finger. I can only really place dots. Also, pinch-to-zoom doesn't work. Seems to be related to this forum post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/unable-to-draw-with-a-pen-on-touch-screen-on-windows/m-p/11376148

PLEASE HELP ME Hi good night!
I'm trying to do a drawing job by illustrator using my graphics tablet, but when changing the settings to modify the brush the pressure option that accompanies what I draw on the graphics tablet I can't choose the option because it appears but I can't select, the only available options are the '' fixed '' and '' Random '' options.
