Illustrator :: Maintaining Stroke Weight When Changing Path To Brush Stroke?
Sep 12, 2013Is there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Stroke Weight Rounds Up?
Feb 10, 2014I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every now and then, my stroke weight rounds up. When I try to make the stroke 1.5 pts, Illustrator automatically rounds up the stroke weight to an even "2". This is very annoying when I need the line to be 1.5.
It doesn't always happen, but it drives me crazy when it does. what I've turned on, and how I can turn it off?

Illustrator :: How To Adjust Stroke Weight On Path
Jul 21, 2012I'm unable to adjust the weight of a path. Here's a 40 sec video (no audio, 1920x1080) that demonstrates I know how to adjust the stroke weight on a path, followed by a demo of it not working when I try to adjust it:
[URL]....
Here's what I do in the video:
First, on a path that allows the change:
Select an elipse.Increase the stroke weight of the elipse.Control-Z to undo.Decrease the stroke weight of the elipse.The above demonstrates I know how to adjust the path weight (at least I think it does).Next, on the path that doesn't allow the stroke width to be reduced: Select path. Increase stroke weight to demonstrate it increases.Control-Z to undo.Decrease the stroke weight to .25 to demonstrate it does not reduce in size.
What do I need to do to decrease the weight of the path I am trying to adjust?
Illustrator :: No Visible Change In Stroke Weight?
Dec 3, 2012I am clicking on a line and altering it's stroke weight to numbers as big as 70pt, but the there is no visible change to the line! If I click off the line and back on it, it still says that it is 70pt, but this is not apparent! Have i clicked on something that prevents me from altering the line weights?

I set the weight manually but it returns to .0139”, the weight will increase just will not go below .0139”. Any document that was drawn in CS2 retains its weight settings and I can even draw new items and have any line weight down to .001”. I can not go that low in a new document.

Sep 5, 2013I'd like to know how to ignore the stroke weight of a shape in the transform box. In other terms, to only consider the surface.
For example, I trace a square with no stroke, and measures 100mm. When I add a 1pt stroke on it, I would still like the transform box to display 100mm, and not 100,353 mm.
I'm working on Illustrator CC (64 bit), Windows 7.

Illustrator :: Auto Set Stroke Weight / Colors And Fill Color?
Mar 5, 2014I'd like to make it easier for our 100,000 designers to use AI to make custom products using a laser cutter.
Current Practice
Designers open our AI laser cutting design templates, add their designs using the AI settings our online pricing system can read, then upload their designs to our website for instant pricing, making and shipping.
The Problem
Designers have to manually setup AI with settings that can be read by our online pricing system. If they get these settings wrong, our system can not read their designs. So they are rejected and can not be priced or made. This happens more often that you'd imagine.
The Solution
Designers do not like design rejections. So I'd like to eradicate them by providing our designers with a version of AI that provides the following settings only:
* Set document to RGB
* Stroke weight = 0.01mm
* Stroke colors = RGB 0, 0, 255 and 255, 0, 0
* Fill color = RGB 0, 0, 0
This will mean designers have a very limited number of AI choices, with nothing to distract them or to get wrong. Which will result in less (or zero?) design rejections. And products made faster than before. Rejoice!
Question
How do we program our AI laser cutting design templates so that when they are opened in AI, they auto set AI settings as defined above?

Illustrator :: Brush Stroke Resetting To 1 Pt
Oct 19, 2012Okay so I've browsed these forums and everybody keeps saying to turn off Align new Objects to pixel grid well I've done that and it still keeps resetting. I've been using a Print document since I am trying to draw illustrations for a children's book but somehow when I choose anything below 1 pt it keeps going back to 1 pt no matter what.
Opened up transform panel too but it's not checked and grayed out so I can not turn on / off again. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS5.

Illustrator :: Paint Brush Stroke
Aug 23, 2013I am new to Illustrator and am taking an Illustrator class. One of the excercises we are supposed to do is just tracing over a greyed-out image that is made up of one long brush stroke. the idea is to start at one end of this long stroke and follow all the curves, not letting up on the mouse button till the end. As the title states, we are using the paintbrush for this.
the brush quits putting out any color, even though I DO NOT let up on the mouse button! have tried and tried with the same result. So picture this...if you stretched this stroke out in a strait line, it might be 20 inches long, but i can only trace 10 inches of it before the paintbrush quits.
I have googled this to no avail. I am on a pc, but it is not just on one machine, as I have tried this on one Windows 8 desktop, a Windows 8 laptop, and a Windows 7 laptop, all using different mice as well. Both laptops have I7 chips with 4gigs of ram, and the desktop has a core 2 quad chip with 8 gigs of ram, so I dont think thats a problem. Just seems weird that its happening on all three machines.
Also, its not the file that Im tracing around either, because I can get the same result if I just open a new document and just start painting a long stroke before too long it quitsThis is happening in Illustrator CC. Class doesnt meet again for a week, so just thought I would ask here.
Illustrator :: CC Why Cannot Add Gradient To Brush Stroke
Feb 15, 2014Why I can’t add a gradient to a brush stroke. As soon as I select the drawn brush stroke and I try playing around with the gradient, the whole stroke goes black…This is driving me nuts. And the weird thing the gradient can be applied only to the basic brush type…not the one that I need unfortunately. I’m not sure why that is…I can only add colour to the brush stroke but no gradient sadly. Is there something I’m doing wrong or a setting which prevents this from happening?

Illustrator :: Brush Stroke Doesn't Appear Until Release The Pen

Jan 26, 2014I don't seem to be able to change my stroke in brush or pencil. It keeps resetting back to basic stroke 1pt/basic/uniform. The only way I seem to be able to go around this problem is to first paint something and then select the stroke and choose the stroke width, etc., but that's too time consuming and very difficult to work. I am using CS 5. "New Art Has Basic Appearance" is unchecked.

Aug 12, 2013This was not an issue in CS5, and I can't figure out how to change it in CS6. I like to Illustrate with the Pencil Tool. I set the stroke to width profile 1 (tapered on both ends) and the stoke to whatever makes sense for my current project, and it keeps changing back to Uniform and 1pt. I have tried to get my settings to "stick" with the Pencil Tool and Brush Tool, and have had no luck. The only way I can change the stroke profile is to do it AFTER the stoke is made.
