the area under the cursor. Select Average to gradually smooth out the symbol values.

Show Brush Size And Intensity Displays the size as you use the tool.

Symbol Sprayer options The Symbol Sprayer options (Scrunch, Size, Spin, Screen, Stain, and Style) appear under the General options in the

Symbolism Tools Options dialog box only when the Symbol Sprayer tool is selected, and control how new symbol instances are added to symbol

sets. Each of these offers two choices:

Average To add a new symbol with the average value of existing symbol instances within the brush radius. For example, an instance

added to an area where the average existing symbol instance is 50% transparent will be 50% transparent; an instance added to an area

with no instances will be opaque.

Note: The Average setting only takes into account other instances within the Symbol Sprayer tool’s brush radius, which you set using the

Diameter option. To see the radius as you work, select Show Brush Size And Intensity.

User Defined To apply specific preset values for each parameter: Scrunch (density) is based on the original symbol size; Size uses the

original symbol size; Spin uses the mouse direction (or no orientation if the mouse doesn’t move); Screen uses 100% opacity; Stain uses

the current fill color and full tint amount; Style uses the current style.

Symbol Sizer options The Symbol Sizer options appear under the General options in the Symbolism Tools Options dialog box only when the

Symbol Sizer tool is selected.

Proportional Resizing Keeps each symbol instance shape uniform as you resize.

Resizing Affects Density Moves symbol instances away from each other when they are scaled up and moves them toward each other

when they are scaled down.
