There is one elementary thing about Illustrator CS6 that I don’t understand. Please do the following:
Select Pencil Tool. Make three strokes at random and select them. Apply a brush to them, for instance a Calligraphic Brush 5 pt. Oval. Deselect the strokes. Doubleclick the same brush on the Brushes Panel in order to edit it. Choose Preview to see changes. Change the brush size to 20 point. The three strokes will change in size, as they are supposed to. Click OK. A warning dialog box appears. Click Apply To Strokes.
Now what happens? THE CHANGES DO NOT APPLY TO THE STROKES. They turn back from 20 to 5 pt. Why?
Try, on the other hand, to make the entire procedure without selecting Preview. Now the process runs perfectly; the change to 20 pt. is applied to the strokes. My question is: why does Preview spoil the process?
Kind regards
