1. Re: Why can't I simulate pressure with the 'stroke path' dialog?
JJMack Jul 13, 2010 8:34 AM (in response to MattBru)I just tried it on my machine. Here is what I did and was. I opened a new Document 800x600 and created a path. Added an empty layer then selected the brush tool set the brush color to black 28 Pixel normal blending opacity 100%. Switch to the Paths Palette and Alt Clicked on the stroke path Icon to bring up the stroke path dialog. For some reason the Option bar switched to the eye dtopper tool even when I set the Stroke Path pull-down menu to Brush. I click simulate pressure and clicked ok. Here is what I saw. It worked. I also have a wacom tablet and brush shape dynamics is set to pen

MattBru Jul 13, 2010 9:09 AM (in response to JJMack)thanks JJMack.
That's exactly how i made my stroke too.
I do not have a tablet connected to my PC. But i did find the pressure sensitive control under 'size jitter' in the 'shape dynamics' tab in the brushes palette. Maybe i cannot simulate pressure if i dont have a pressure sensitive tablet connected. You'd think you could do it, since it is just an automated stroke - the tablet has nothing to do with it.
I was able to set the control to 'fade' which just faded out one side. But what i was aiming for was to go: thin, thick, thin.

Zeno Bokor Jul 13, 2010 9:26 AM (in response to MattBru)Set that dropdown to Pen Pressure, even if you don't have a tablet otherwise the Simulate Pressure checkbox won't work "correctly"

Zeno Bokor Jul 13, 2010 10:42 AM (in response to MattBru)And as i said, the Simulate Pressure checkbox needs that dropdown to be set to Pen Pressure (or Pen Tilt) to work like you want it to. It doesn't matter that you don't have a tablet because the Simulate Pressure checkbox will simulate the pen pressure when applying brush strokes to paths.
