Reverse Brush Strokes

Reverse Brush Strokes Thubmanil

I love using the Brush Tool (b), but hate trying to change the direction of them. Finally I found a quick way to change the direction of a single brush stroke without affecting other strokes associated with the same brush. First, select the path and then click on a endpoint with the Pen Tool (p), creating a new direction toward that point. Sadly, this trick only works on open paths.

  1. Nice tip. Don’t forget that button in the Brush Palette too. It has a few more handy options: http://img.skitch.com/20080513-b3bw9h4y7tkf15gba181pmmhnm.jpg

    Curve direction is unsolved problem in AI.
