Angle Range
For dab-based brushes, the Ang Range
slider lets you specify a range of dab
angles that may appear in a brush
stroke.
To take advantage of this feature, you
must set up the brush to base the
angle on some factor, like stroke
direction or bearing. You’ll do this
with the Expression settings on the
Stroke Designer page.
The Angle Range slider controls the range of
dab angles that can appear in a brush stroke.
Top =0°
,
bottom=180°.
To set brush dab angle range:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Angle.
2 Move the Ang Rng slider right to
increase the range of angles that
can appear in a dab. Move the
slider to the left to reduce the range
of angles that can appear in a
stroke.
Setting this slider to 360° means
you can get every angle between 0°
and 360° in your stroke.
