No problem Also, just fyi for future reference: You can manually attach brushes to existing CV or EP curves, in effect, turning the curves into Paint Effects strokes. This is a convenient way to convert existing curves into strokes. Laying the stroke path using a curve may also give you better control over the stroke path (for example, if you want a single stroke to wrap continuously around a 3D object). To attach a brush to curves do one of the following: -Select the brush preset you want to apply to the curves, such as a lightning brush -or- Get brush settings from an existing stroke. (Select the stroke and select Paint Effects > Get Settings from Selected Stroke.) Then, modify the brush attributes, if necessary (Paint Effects > Template Brush Settings or use the Ctrl-b (IRIX, Linux and Windows) or Control-b (Mac OS X) hotkey combination). NOTE: For information on modifying brush attributes, see "Define template brush settings" in the docs Then: Select the curves you want to attach a brush to. Select Paint Effects > Curve Utilities > Attach Brush to Curves. Done! Easy as pie Good luck!
