Brush Problem

Hi BP

Like Christine I could not get it to go in vector - I thought it might be something to do with having a custom brush inside another custom brush...

If you can get it to work - great

I think this can be that you have one brush created applyed to circles and groupe them and you want to create brush from this groupe, try my xar file i redrawed your objects as only shapes and circles, grouped them and create the brush of this groupe. Maybe that could help you. regards BP

I was playing around with the .xar file Barry posted. I noticed that a brush was part of the ornament shapes.

I recreated the shapes using a blend rather than a brush.

Next I converted to Editable Shapes and ungrouped the original blend on a curve for the two larger ellipses. Selected all and group.

I created a brush but to my surprise it does not look like the original shapes.

One attachment shows the original shapes I used for the brush. Another attachment shows the Brush at about 300 pix to show the brush shapes. The .xar file with the brush is also attached.

Yes Bill, that is what I wanted to say, and in my first post i said too I recreated Barry Drawing without his xar file, and i did the same like you bland of circles, converted to shapes, and made the brush of them. I think this methode is better. Sorry handrawn and Chritine you are right. Barry´s Xar file gives me the same result like yours too. but i made the brush with only shapes and blends like Bill.
Regards BP

I have managed to create this as a pure Vector but only by using duplicate circles, you need to create the circles with no line and then add the line only to the top one.

I will post the file in the brushes forum

Here's a link to the brush file
