anyone know were i can turn brush pressure on in illustrator for use with my tablet?

[Matthew.]

hmm, i think if you select the brush you want to use, find brush options/settings and set the diameter to pressure then it will work :S

Unsure though, been a while since i used it.

are you using a Wacom Tablet?

[Scythar]

I never found a way in illustrtaor Cs, so i think you cant.
Which would be logical in the old days since then there was a clear difference in usage between illustrator and photoshop.

Guess who finally got his pc back online, yep... me

I've already seen a few tutorials handling brush pressure in illustrator but all of them were using wacom tablets, I plugged mine out since I'm not using it that often, and to be honest I'm too lazy to plug it back in.
My advice to you, in case you have a wacom with brush pressue functionality, install the newest drivers and the PS plugin from wacom.

Hey Scythar, welcome back and Happy belated birthday

Works perfecty fine for me with brush pressure and a wacom intuos3 tablet. Using the brush tool.

[Scythar]

And do you control the pressure/tilt -variation --> brush size from within Illustrator ?
If so, where do you find the controls?

[Dance]

Yes you do and you do it here



if you dont have those controlls up you will find them under window>Brushes or F5 as default hotkey to the tab.

aha, thx, gonna try it with my very very simple tablet (its Wacom graphire.2). Now where did i put that one 2 years ago? ...
It sounds very logic being there, dont know why i didnt see that setting... ? /me stupid

Calligraphic and scatter brushes
Not the artbrushes apparently...
