Adding a twirl effect
To add a twirl effect to an object
1
Select a curve object using Pick tool .
2
Click the Shape tools button in the toolbox, and click the Twirl tool .
3 Click the edge of the object, and hold down the mouse button until the twirl is the size you want.
To position and reshape the twirl, you can drag while holding down the mouse button.

Roughening objects
The roughening effect lets you apply a jagged or spiked edge to objects, including lines, curves, and text. You can control the size, angle,
direction, and number of the indentations, whether you use a pen tablet or a mouse.
The roughening effect is determined by the movements of the stylus (or pressure-sensitive pen), by fixed settings, or by automatically
applying perpendicular spikes to the line. Tilting the stylus toward and away from the tablet’s surface increases and decreases the size of the
spikes. If you are using a mouse, you can specify a tilt angle between 0 and 90°. You can determine the direction of the spikes by changing
the angle of rotation (or bearing) of the stylus as you apply the roughening effect to an object. When you are using a mouse, you can set
the bearing angle from 0 to 359°. You can also increase or decrease the number of spikes that are applied as you drag.
The roughening effect also responds to the pressure of the stylus on the tablet. The more pressure you apply, the more spikes are created in
the roughened area. If you are using a mouse, you can specify values to simulate the stylus pressure.
You can also change the brush nib size.
