The following brushes are created from vector objects imported from Expression 3. The technique is described in This thread And you will find them Here

I must get round to investigating expression.

When I saw your first post I thought they would be bitmap brushes but these are incredible.

Hi, nice set of brushes but when I try to use them they always try to draw at a huge line weight size like 100+ and this happens every time I start a new stroke. How do I set the default size on these to be small?

[gwpriester]

or maybe two,

select the brush and set the line width as desired. Then select the Freehand and Brush Tool, select Edit Brush and press Save. Ooops. I just tried this and it did not work.

OK second work-around. Configure the brush stroke the way you want it. Copy it (Ctrl c) and Paste Attributes (Edit > Paste Attributes or Shift Ctrl a) to the other lines.

From experimenting, it appears that the Line width of a brush is set by the size of the object creating the brush.
If you have an object 16 x 16 pixels and create a brush from it it draws at line width 12pnt (Which would appear correct 16 x 0.75 = 12)
The maths seems to work on all shapes. ie The shapes height x 0.75 = line width.
Put a simpler way, reduce the size of the original shape and create a new brush from it.
At least I know what I mean, I hope you can understand my babblings.

Thanks Eric ! Even a brushmeister (but you too are one) can miss something important. You are absolutely right; the size of the brush depends from the size of original objects (only a tiny difference : + 0,5 Pt). I didn't find it and was sometimes surprised by the large width of some brushes, but as I my Xara X preferences are configured with "give the new objects the more recent attributes" each time I apply brushes settings I have copied or cutted from an existing line those settings repeats for all the following ones.
