New Pattern Brush issue

I'm trying to create a new pattern brush with just a line and arrowhead at the end. I've tried following the instructions that the help screen provided and am getting stuck. When I choose to create a new pattern brush the only options available for the different segments are "None", "Original" and "Fish Pattern". How do I get the colored line and arrow available? All I'm trying to do is create a simple line with an arrowhead that doesn't change shape when I extend the length of the line. So far it's been a nightmare for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I need to make two lines each a different length but with the same size arrowhead.
Remember that you can apply multiple strokes to a path.
Create a Graphic Style that involves two strokes: One stroke is an ArtBrush for the shank of the arrow; the other stroke is a PatternBrush containing the end(s) of the arrow. See item 6 below:

New Pattern Brush Symbol Unavailable

Hi Members,
I'm working with Illustrator CC 2014 on a mac running mavericks. I need to use a pattern brush for a couple of illustrations: corn on the cob and fish scales. I have watched a Adobe's tutorial a few times to ensure that I'm not making a mistake or skipping a step. To rule-out a simple glitch, I've relaunched illustrator and tried in a couple different files.
To start, I design the object that I want to use with the polygon, pen, and gradient tools. I make the design a symbol. I create a pattern with the symbol and ensure that it has been added to the swatches panel. I press the "new" button in the brushes panel, and select "pattern brush from the dialog box. At this point, I should be selecting the pattern I want to use for the brush, but the pattern I want doesn't show up.
Thank you for your help!
Gratefully,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Did you open tiles drop-down and scrolled it to the end? Your auto-tiles would be appearing blank (with a red slash) since you haven't selected any art while creating the pattern brush. Just scroll the tiles drop-down and let us know if you see the pattern created initially for selection. It should ideally appear if the pattern is in the document swatches.

Question about pattern brushes

I want to use a detailed color photograph as a pattern brush, what is the best way to do it?
I have rasterized the photo, then used image trace high quality photo, then creates the new pattern brush and used it. But this makes the illustration super heavy and slows down my computer. Ia there a way to vectorize photos with high quality without having that many points in the vector?
Or is there another way to use photos as pattern brushes?

isanavland,
An Image Traced photo will be heavy with Anchor Points.
You may create a cleaner/leaner version using the Pen Tool, with the almost inevitable decisions about simplifications.
Does it make a difference if you turn the Image Traced photos into a Symbol?

Using images in pattern brushes no practical control space?

Hi!
In Illustrator there was a long-awaited my new feature. Brushes with rater images - WoW!
Thank you very much.
I learned this and practice what quenches my "wow" ...
I have problems that I can not understand, I will be grateful for the practical help.
1. Pattern Brush from the image.
— When I create a brush with the image of a pattern I would like to use negative values to between images there was a space.
Illustrator does not allow for such a value?
Example Adobe does not explain the problem, but raves (very good) features art Brush with img.

Bingo! Thank you Monika!, you're right. Correct positioning of the rectangle has the effect of which I had in mind with the corners.
Thank you for the "old way"

Trouble with Pattern Brush

I have a very simple graphic that consists of three closed paths, black stroke, no fill, that I have used before to create a pattern brush. Now in another file it is telling me that the graphic contains an element that cannot be used in pattern brushes. It is the identical graphic! I solved my current problem by opening the file that has it as a pattern brush and saving the brush file and opening it in my new file. But I want to figure out why I couldn't create a pattern brush in my new file with this same graphic...any ideas?

State version of Illustrator.

Pattern brush, colored lines between segments

Hi all,
Issues with the pattern brush won´t stop for me...
This time I try to create a pattern brush from paths, everything seems aligned to be but still there are discoloured lines between the segments. I´ve tried again and again and now I´m tired of it. Everytime I read a tut it seems simple but I can´t get it to work. Here is a link to the Ai file I´m using ( CC ), perhaps someone can have a look and point me to the obvious. Those gaps stay after export, so it´s not a preview thing I guess.
Thank you in advance,
IOError

Did not thought of that. Thank you very much. I think I´ll read your book

New watercolour brushes and the AHB

It's very disappointing that none of the new watercolour brushes work with the Art History Brush. With a lot of customisation they work after a fashion but you lose the qualities of the brushes as designed. These new brushes seem very picky when it comes to the tools they are used with eg the AHB, Pattern Stamp Tool, Mixer Brush and Smudge Tool. A pity.

Workflow: On the AHB - create a snapshot to use as the source image (from a 2482x3648px image). Select the AHB in the Toolbox. Select the Watercolor Wash brush in the brush menu. Set size of the brush to 32, Mode: Normal, Opacity: 100%, Style: Tight Short, Area: 21px, Tolerance: 0%. Leave all brush settings at default.
Problem: the brushstroke created deposits color in disjointed faint blobs. There is no continuos wash. You can create a continuos flow of paint with these settings and any pre-cs5 (5) brush - ie the old faithfuls like Chalk.
Workaround: To increase paint deposited: I increase the Depth of the Texture in the Texture settings - not ideal. I have found no way of changing the paint blobs into a continuous paint flow. Fiddling with Size and Distortion in the Brush Tip Shape settings, and Angle Jitter in Shape Dynamics, can camoflage the problem a little but the result is nothing like a watercolour wash because individual elliptical blobs are still visible in the stroke.
Effect I'm after: a paint depostion that looks more like a transparent watercolour wash. The effect is not bad when applying the Watercolor Wash brushtip in an ordinary brushstroke to create a colour area on a white layer with the brush (as opposed to the AHB).
Of course with all the available AHB styles, brushtips, and brush settings there are countless combinations - but none I have found that avoid visible blobbing with the AHB.
If you look at, for example, the x4 Watercolor brushes in the Natural Brushes library, these brushes work fine with the AHB - the problem with them is that even with reduced opacity and with Wet Edges selected, the effect they create is more like Gouache - not a transparent watercolour wash. I was hoping for rather more from the new Watercolour brushes. For those of us who clone from photographs using the AHB, Mixer or Smudge tools, to create natural media simulations, they are a bit of a disappointment.

Created new Art Brush but it dissapears

Let me just say I am reasonably new to Illustrator.
I've created a new art Brush: New brush>Art Brush> and made my selections and clicked ok. The brush then shows in the brush palette where I have access to use it but then when I close the document and reopen a new one the brush dissapears. Where did it go and how do I get it back??
Please help... not sure where I am going wrong in saving the brush.

Once you create a brush in Illustrator you need to save it by choosing save brushes under Brush libraries menu.
What you can do now open the old document click on the save brushes and than open the new document and under Brush libraries menu select other libraries and open the saved brush library from the previous document.

Creating a new pattern swatch

I'm working on a script that should, among other things, create a new pattern swatch from a groupItem in the document.
I managed to create the new pattern swatch and name it using:
myNewPatternSwatch = app.activeDocument.patterns.add();
myNewPatternSwatch.name = <the_swatch_name>;
The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my groupItem into the new pattern swatch.
Any idea?
Your help will be appreciated.

I don't think you can… Sorry it's not very helpful… Patterns were the sure way to crash a script too although I have not tried in CS5…

Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
any word ?

I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.
(are you still under warranty?)

CS6 New Pattern

Hi everyone,
Question regarding newly created PATTERNS: Once "Save a copy" is done, where is saved this pattern / what file' extension is generated. How can I make my own directory with all new patterns , always available for my futur work. I guess I miss something = when I make a new pattern which shows up in the Swatches panel, if I open a new page, my new pattern disappears from this panel. What am i doing wrong? Preferences doesn't show a choice for patterns /Swatches.
Many thanks for your help

You must save swatches from the Swatch Panel menu. Then load swatches in other files.
You might want to review the help files:
