Brush Pressure not working (greyed out) in 27.8.1 - Reverting to version 27.7 fixes issue
When Illustrator auto updated to 27.8.1, all my pressure brushes stopped working. Pressure is not available as a brush option.
I use an XP-Pen artist Pro 15.6 tablet on Windows 10
I went through the SOP that I do when this happens - uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the XP-Pen drivers and nothing worked. I think reverted Illustrator back to 27.7 and it works again.
It would be nice if this functionality didn't break regularly when new versions are released. It makes Auto-updating an unrealistic option as I end up wasting time chasing down bugs when I really should…

"NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" APPEARANCE panel options NOT working for BRUSH
On the desktop version of Illustrator.....
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has a basic appearance as it is supposed to.
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" NOT set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has the same appearance as the last made pencil stroke as it is supposed to.
THESE TWO 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" SETTINGS in the APPEARANCE panel options unfortunately DO NOT WORK this way when using the Brush tool.

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.

Shape anomalies when creating pattern brushes
When I create a pattern brush using a series of pictures, other duplicated shapes (anomalies) would appear on top of the images when the new custom brush is applied to an object. In some cases it is duplicated, offset lines or flopped shapes that appear as additional objects...
ungrouping all objects before making it a brush seems to resolve the problem...

Custom Brush doesn’t get affected by color
I am not able to change the color for my custom brushes. Whenever I select a new color for the brush, the brush still paints black. I have opened and closed the program several times but nothing has worked. I have deleted and made new brushes, but I am still having the same problem.
1 voteThis happens if the colorization method for a brush is chosen to be just None.
Changing it to be Tints or any other form the dropdown in the brush’s options solves the problem.

The stroke has a brush applied to it, which can also define cap.
Check it in the Appearance or Brushes panels. You can remove it from both of these panels, or Control, or Properties.

Pattern Brush with raster image adds white pixels not in original image
If using a raster image as the base for a pattern brush, Ai will pad the image with opaque white pixels. This makes it really hard - if not impossible - to use it on anything besides solid white background.
Note: This is NOT the anti-aliasing/"thin white line between segments" issue.
See screenshot.

Blob tool won't change size
When I use the blob tool it won't change size from 1 pt. No matter if I change the size. It is very frustrating to use so I can do college homework.
This issue is on both my Acer laptop with my Huion tablet and on my Surface Pro 3. I reinstalled the app on my laptop and didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
Please press the enter key while using BLOB brush (when Blob Brush Tool is selected) and set the size to 1 pt. in the Blob Brush Tool Options dialog.
Hope this helps.

Brush settings revert to older ones
Literally the most illogical system. If you change one part of a brush your customizing it reverts to the older one. Worked with this for a couple years and forgot how disappointing it was. MAKE THE PAINTBRUSH TOOL MORE USER FRIENDLY.

Pattern Brush Problem with Expand Appearance
I want to paint a topographic card (map) with complex Strokes for the streets and rivers and so on.
After creating different Pattern Brushes i would create a solid line for export to an other program.
After choosing the Stroke with an used Pattern Brush i would "expand appearance" for getting a clean version without strokes.
The Result is a lot of segmented curves and destroyed formes.1 vote
