Illustrator :: Always Display Brush Size In Millimeters?
Jan 27, 2014
I know in the brush options panel you can enter a brush size in millimetres, but is there any way to permantly make it display the size in mm? I need to know how thick some lines are in mm, and even after going to options and changing all diplay uints to mm, it still shows up as pts.
I've attached a picture of exactly what I'm referring to below. (The "Size" field currently showing "15 pt". I need that area to display mm).

I’m a PS user new to Illustrator (CS6). In PS, using the bracket keys [] to increase/decrease brush point size will simultaneously update the data displayed in the tool panel at the top.
While I can use the bracket keys in Illustrator to change the appearance of the brush stroke, it is not being updated in the tool panel input or in the stroke window…so I can essentially have (2) 3 pt strokes created with the same brush that don’t visually match but whose display properties DO match. Because I will be doing lots of editing I certainly don’t want to work this way.

The attached lsp puts tick marks at equal distances along a line/polyline and tags them with the distanace value from the start point. I draw using millimeter units but things like chainage should be displayed in meter units. Using this routine displays the values in millimeter units which I then 'find and replace' to edit their values to meters.
Take a look at the lisp to see if it can be altered to input the mm value at the start but output the meter value to the text values?
Attached jpg graphically shows my request.

And my object can't be moved by millimeters if you know what i mean. It's always a block away.
And i can't allign my work anymore.
For example: If i want to put the right corner of a square on 1 centimeter it pops to 0.5 of 1.5.

I work at a university and have logos shared with me from other designers, most of which are working on Macs and I'm working on a PC. When I open the logo and select all, the size displayed is 227.5417 inches x 227.5417 inches. The last one I received, the actual size of the logo was 2 inches x 1.75 inches. How do I get Illustrator to display the actual size of the logo?

I am using illustrator to edit a sketch. But, this problem alwasy happens. I normally use the 3 pt round brush and set the size to about 0.15pt. Well, If i use a different brush and switch back to the normal paintbrush it would always chang it to 1 pt and I would have to make a stroke and set it back to 0.15 pt. Is there a reason why it keeps doing this?
Also, is there a way to erase without it editing the entire path? I know I am using vectors but I don't understand how to fix this. URL....

There is one elementary thing about Illustrator CS6 that I don’t understand. Do the following:
-Select Pencil Tool. Make three strokes at random and select them.
-Apply a brush to them, for instance a Calligraphic Brush 5 pt. Oval.
-Deselect the strokes.
-Doubleclick the same brush on the Brushes Panel in order to edit it.
-Choose Preview to see changes.
-Change the brush size to 20 point. The three strokes will change in size, as they are supposed to.
-Click OK. A warning dialog box appears. Click Apply To Strokes.
Now what happens? THE CHANGES DO NOT APPLY TO THE STROKES. They turn back from 20 to 5 pt. Why? Try, on the other hand, to make the entire procedure without selecting Preview. Now the process runs perfectly; the change to 20 pt. is applied to the strokes. My question is: why does Preview spoil the process?

In Illustrator CS5 calligraphic brush could be decimal e.g. 0,5pt size as on the screenshot:
But new Illustrator CS6 always rounds the value to integer.
The appearance of the brush seems to stay the same but it becomes impossible to change it anyhow.
Is this a bug? How can I use my previous brush settings?

On digital tutors i learned that the blob brush size can be changed interactively. But since i use a mac in combination with a cintiq and a swiss german keyboard i cannot use the bracket keys.
They also don't work when i assign the us keyboard settings. How can the brush size of the blob brush be changed interactively?

I'm currently using my created brush and when I try to use the basic brush, it immediately jumps back to my created brush with it's stroke size.
Align to pixel grid is turned off so it cant ber that.
I used to resolve this problem (when I was actually trying to keep using my created brush when it was reverting back to basic brush) but I would resolve it by double clicking on the designated brush in the brushes palette.
Also seeing as were on the subject of brushes, nop matter how I adjust the firmness/ pressure both in the driver setting of my wacom and for the brush in illustrator, I see no difference?

I'm designing some screens for an retina display iPad and I just want the illustrator document on my 27" thunderbold monitor (at 109 ppi) to have the same physical dimensions as the physical iPad screen (7.75" x 5.81"). Maybe its so obvious that no one talks about how to do it. I do feel a little embarassed that I haven't figured this out.
Regardless of whenther I enter the doucment dimensions in inches or in pixels the resulting document is never the same pysicial size as the iPad's screen. And since Illustrator deals in vectors it doesn't have any notion of PPI that I can use to bring inches and pixels into alignement so that what I see on my monitor is the same physical size as what's in the iPad.
All i want is the AI document displayed on my monitor to be the exact same size as my iPad's screen.

In Illustrator I want to maintain the stroke settings while creating several paths with the pen tool. However, every time I start a new path, the stroke settings revert to what must be a default. E.g. I set 16pt + Variable width profile + Basic and stroke a path. When I start a new path, the settings revert to 1pt + Uniform + Basic, and I have to reset back to my original. Other art programs I've used maintain the tool settings most recently used until they are manually changed. How can I get the settings to stay through multiple uses of the pen tool?

1. original
2. doubled horizontal size of the line
I'm using scatter brush to draw multiple lines with random size and angle(image 1.), and trying to increase only the horizontal size(image 2.), keeping the interval the same. But when I do, the interval is also increased since 'Spacing' option follows the size of the base object. I could adjust and decrease the spacing value, but the problem is, spacing option cannot go below 1%. So if want to increase the line size and maintain the interval, there's no way to do it. expending then scaling could work, but that's not what I want.

I have contacted Adobe about issues with Photoshop brushes recently. My issue is that the brush size is smaller than the circle that represents the brush. In other words, when I hoover over the area that I want to paint or erase with the circle and then click, the painted or erased area is smaller that the circle. It's really frustrating when fine tuning an image, you never know how close you are to what you want to correct. This is only visible when you zoom in quit a bit. I worked with an Adobe tech for over an hour and he could not simulate the problem. Then he finally asked if I was using a retina display, (he was not).

I'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.

for some reason when I change brush size by the pallette or the [ keys I only see the cross hairs with a dot in the middle. I've tried ctrl, alt shift to reinsate all settings but still do not see a visual representation of the brush size.

When any of the brush sizes reaches a certain limit the edges failed to display and you can't see the complete circle of the brush. This occurred after I checked to allow Open GL Drawing in the preferences but after I unchecked it the problem persisted. I updated my driver (NVidia GForce 6800) to no avail. The brushes have been displaying fine for the last year with the same driver.

In watching videos about Photoshop CS6 I notice that the brush (or other cursor) often appears as two concentric circles: the outer circle gives some idea of the extent of the brush effect. How do I activate this double circle brush display in Photoshop CS6. I seem only to see a single circle for the brush display. I am using the "cloud" version with Windows 7.

I notice that the color palette as displayed in the adjustment brush has changed. Below is the display for 5.0 and below this is display for 5.2RC
Wonder if this is signicant. I know it dosent change any thing regarding color selection. Just wondering. I suppose it is more logical geometrically.

I'm having a problem with the Blob Brush tool where I can't change the basic brush to something else. Whenever I pick a brush I want and I try draw with the Blob Brush tool, the brush I picked reverts back to the basic brush. Here are screenshots:
I pick a brush that I like first
But when I start drawing with the Blob Brush tool, it reverts back to the basic brush automatically
Am I doing something wrong or is the Blob Brush tool only capable of using the basic brush?

I am trying to locate information on how to achieve a real time display of the Gaussian blur while painting with the brush.
Google is not being useful, nor does Adobe's own forum searches yield anything useful.
I have seen mention of Smart Filters and designating the layer as a Smart Object in order to enable a Smart Filter but I can't seem to get the real time display of the filter when painting so I'm not sure if that proccess is at all useful for me or not as I can't locate information specific to what I'm trying to do.
I'm incidentally using CS5, so if this option doesn't exist, that would be useful to know so that I'm not spinning my wheels.

when you open a file, how do you see the length and width of the image easily?
So far I see where I can click on the little arrow button at the bottom frame of the window that contains the image and I click on the menu item for "Show" and then select "Document Dimensions" but it displays in inches and not in pixels.

I have this problem with units. I am using 2012 Autocad drafting. I want to work with millimeters, for instance usually when I type 1000, that is usually refereed as 1 meter. Now in the new model space when I type 1000 the line is so long, I even have to press regenerate so that I can see the line. I checked the units, they are set to millimeters, I also checked from options - user preferences they are also set to millimeters.
When for instance I will open an older file that I worked on in autocad 2010, in autocad 2012, it will work fine, when I will write 1000, it will actually come up as one meter. The settings in units and options - user preferences are the same.
I also copied a table from the 2010 file to the new one, and the chair comes up very big in the screen, so again I use regenerate to zoom out.
Also every time I open a new file, I have to go to units and change it from Inches to millimeters. Is there a way to do it once, so that you don't have to do it every time you open a new file in autocad? I know you can customize your workspace, and I have, but that doesn't seam to do it.
