Angle 
The Angle slider controls the angle of 
an elliptical brush dab and the length 
of the ellipse. You use Angle controls 
with Circular and Captured dab types.
The Angle slider controls the angle of an 
elliptical brush dab—it is significant only for 
dabs with Squeeze below 100%. Top=90°, 
bottom=45°.
To set elliptical brush dab angle:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of 
the Brush Creator, click Spacing. 
2 Move the Angle slider right to 
rotate the dab clockwise. Move the 
slider to the left to rotate the brush 
counterclockwise.
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.
