Paintbrush tool options
Double-click the Paintbrush tool to set the
following options:
- Fidelity
- Controls
how far you have to move your mouse or stylus before Illustrator
adds a new anchor point to the path. For example, a Fidelity value
of 2.5 means that tool movements of less than 2.5 pixels aren’t
registered. Fidelity can range from 0.5 to 20 pixels; the higher
the value, the smoother and less complex the path.
- Smoothness
- Controls
the amount of smoothing that Illustrator applies when you use the
tool. Smoothness can range from 0% to 100%; the higher the percentage,
the smoother the path.
- Fill New Brush Strokes
- Applies
a fill to the path. This option is most useful when drawing closed
paths.
- Keep Selected
- Determines
whether Illustrator keeps the path selected after you draw it.
- Edit Selected Paths
- Determines
whether you can change an existing path with the Paintbrush tool.
- Within: _ pixels
- Determines
how close your mouse or stylus must be to an existing path to edit
the path with the Paintbrush tool. This option is only available
when the Edit Selected Paths option is selected.
