Why do my brush settings always revert?

When I change my paintbrush settings, such as size, brush, colour, et cetera, they always revert back to the previous settings as soon as I make a stroke. This makes it impossible to use illustrator. It seems to happen as soon as I change the brush to anything except for the default one.

I think you are expecting Photoshop-like brush behavior, which you should not do.
An Illustrator brush is simply something applied to a path. That's all. The size of the path's stroke, it's color, and other attributes are all part of the stroke, not the brush. The brush is merely the artwork applied.
What it sounds like you want to do is create the brush with the stroke weight and color you want.
Draw a path with the brush.
Drag that path to the Graphic Styles Panel.
Then whenever you wish to go back to those same settings, click the Graphic Style, then draw.

  • MUSIC  SETTINGS ALWAYS REVERTS TO CANNED THEME MUSIC

    MUSIC SETTINGS. Always reverts to the canned “Theme Music” which comes with iPhoto. No matter what I do to insert my own choice of a Music Setting, I get “Endless Summer” and “Hey Now,” etc. Under “Play Music During Slideshow,” I insert my own selection (Benny Goodman) and check it as the “Source.” But when I do the Slideshow, it ignores Benny Goodman and goes back to “Endless Summer,” etc.

    Sorry hope this helps, was a little confusing, I was trying to give a possible solution to the problem. I think it's could be an easy fix.
    I just tried it. It dose work, you'll have to take off repeat and play with the seconds a bit. I got my real close to the end of the pic an song so, I just added an extra pic and it worked.
    1) First time the pics as best you can with the fit to music option on.
    2) Now turn the fit to music off and set the "play each slide for --seconds" to the number you timed. Remember that you can also set seconds and milliseconds as well.
    3) Then play the slideshow (you do not have to wait till the end of the song to see how it ends, just scroll the cursor to the bottom of the screen and select the last picture, the song and the pics will forward correctly) the see how close you are to the end of the song and the picture matching. If it doesn't match, modify step 2 and repeat 3 till it's as close as possible if not right on it.
    4) If it never matches up perfectly, then consider adding another picture and repeating the process as each picture will added will give you a slight variation in timing, or as someone suggested, add a black picture to use as a fade to black.

  • Why does my email address always revert to .con

    what does my .com address always revert to .con when I enter it on my iPad?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • In System Preferences,  and CDs &DVDs, I've set the drop-down menu for audio CDs to open iTunes. can anyone tell me why it always reverts to Ignore?

    Can anyone help me figure out why the setting in System Preferences and CDs & DVDs will always revert to Ignore when I set the drop-down menu to When you insert a music CD, to Open ITunes? I've tried iTunes Help and it told me exactly what I have been doing. I've even tried downloading iTunes again, to no avail. If anyone has had the same problem, please let me know. I would very much appreciate it.

    In iTunes Preferences not system preferences under the General Tab there is a drop down in the lower part letting you specify what action to take when a CD is inserted
    Show CD

  • With recent update of Firefox, I can no longer set the default page, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page, why?

    Why can I no longer set the default page to something else? Every time I open Mozilla Firefox, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page. No matter how many times I do this, it always reverts.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Never remember history not working after upgrade to 4, it always reverts to use custom settings

    Hi, I use private browsing mode and when I try to adjust the settings to never remember history, whenever I look it always reverts to use custom settings. Sometimes when I close firefox and then reopen the old cookies are still there.

    The OP reported their line-in input "broke" after upgrading to Leopard, however my MBP stopped recognising input from the mic on my headset a few weeks ago when I was still running Tiger. This might possibly indicate that the change in OS X's handling of the line-in input was present in a Tiger update, but I can't remember the exact correlation between the dates of my last update and this problem. All the same, I'm pretty annoyed that a headset that worked perfectly for several months is now suddenly unusable without a USB adapter.
    Prior to stumbling across this thread, I visited two Apple stores, who both tested with an output from an iPod and told me that the input was working fine, leading me to buy a brand-new headset (even though I'd tested other working headsets without success) which, naturally, produced the same results.
    Seems to me that the hardware is fully capable of processing a mic input through the line-in port, as it's never had any problems with any unpowered source until recently, so Apple must surely be able to undo the change they made?

  • 'Ringing' Audio Settings keeps reverting

    Apologies if this has been asked before.  I was unable to find an existing topic on this subject.
    The issue is that even though I set the 'Ringing' setting under Audio Settings to "Speakers", it always reverts to "Use Selected Speaker" when Skype starts up (after logging in to Windows).  This results in Skype ringing into my headset, which means I never hear it ring.
    Both the 'Microphone' and 'Speakers' settings are set to my Logitech headset, but I want Skype to ring on my Realtek HD Audio device, which is where my speakers are connected.
    The only thing I can think is that Skype is somehow starting up before the Realtek device is ready so Skype doesn't even see it and then reverts to a default value of "Use Selected Speakers".
    Anyone else experiencing this or have any solutions?

    I am able to reliably reproduce this now.  It seems that I was on the right track.  It happens when I remote desktop into the machine that's running Skype.  When I'm remoted into the machine, only "Use selected speaker" and "Remote Audio" show up.  This is why it is reverting to "Use Selected Speaker" because the Realtek audio device is non-existent when I'm using RDP.
    Have at it, devs.

  • Colour Always Reverts to Black & White

    Hi Guys!
    Firstly, I should point out that I'm a Photoshop Elements newbie. 
    I'm trying to create some colour stencils using Photoshop Elements 10.
    When I select "threshold" on adjustment layer, the foreground colour always reverts to black and white, sometimes grey.  After that, even if I select any other colour, I am unable to fill with anything other than black or white - and I get some weird rainbow-like effect.  The program simply won't let me fill with colour.
    This wasn't happening until today!
    Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?!
    I've had a look on a few forums - the general answer is that "greyscale" is selected in mode.  It isn't, RGB Colour is selected.
    Many thanks in advance for your help!
    Sam

    The whole point of threshold is that it discards all color infomation and mkes every pixel either pure white or pure black. Don't use it if you want to do color, or add a hue/saturation adjustmet layer after using it with the colorize checkbox turned on.

  • Mailboxes (accounts) in inbox won't stay sorted; always revert back.

    Neither my iMac or MacBook Pro will retain the order of the mail accounts. I have about a dozen different mail accounts, and I can drag them to the order I want just fine, but later they are back to the original (non alphabetized) order. They won't stay in the order I place them. I am not talking about messages, but the accounts themselves:
    MAILBOXES
    +-Inbox
    +---mac mail account
    +---otheraccount
    +---gmail account
    +---server account
    I can move "gmail account" to top, but it won't stay. It always reverts.
    Any thoughts?

    It seems that you likely have a corrupt mail preference.
    Sometimes simply rewriting it can fix it.
    Quit Mail.
    In Finder Go>Home>Library>Preferences and hold down on the option key while dragging the com.apple.mail.plist to the desktop. This will make a copy of the settings.
    Now drag the original preference list to the Trash and move the copy back in its place in the Preferences folder.
    Restart Mail.
    As to Signatures the Mail folder in the home Library holds that info.
    Remove the files from the folder and start over with the Signatures.
    If either of these issues persist then create a new user account on the computer and set up the settings in the new user account to see if the issue is across the system or user specific.
    If it is system wide then it is either the Mail application or the system itself creating the issue.
    If it is user specific then continue to completely set up Mail as you want in the new user and move the settings from the test user into the Shared folder.
    Then log into the affected user and pull those setting from Shared into the user and put them in place in the Library.
    Make sure Mail is not running when you put them in place.

  • Mandatory profile: default printer always reverts to last installed printer

    The only constant is: the last installed printer stays as the default printer (user can install it). How is that tracked by the system? I cannot find it anywhere.
    example printer A, then B is installed. Printer B always reverts to being the default on reboot.
    a. not using gpp/gpo to set printers (several thousand pcs, about 800 printers, difference preferences in each department etc)
    b. from what I have read, it is normal for the mandatory profile to revert back on reboot/logoff any changes to the default printer made by the user.
    c. I have tried changing registry keys for .default, the current user, which the current user (mandatory profile autologin) does not pull from .default or anywhere else I can seed.
    d. the mandatory profile itself is clean the common registry keys are empty (changing these keys to your desired printer does not resolve the issue, they revert on reboot to last installed printer)
    ...\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices]
    ....Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts
    ...Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows (Device key is blank)
    e. commands do not stick (Tried from powershell, vp, command prompt etc) such as:

    "ntprint /setdefault name=<printer name>

    http://www.ehow.com/how_7258789_add-default-printer-new-users.html

    Hi,
    Please allow me to clear the current situation:
    1. We are using mandatory profile, and the default printer is not configured into the profile settings;
    2. Every time when installing a new printer, it will change to the default one;
    3. Using command line to set the default printer won't work here;
    If anything misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
    So how do we install the new printer here? Any settings that we may choose to set the newly installed as the default?
    Might we consider to let the user choose which printer to be set as default using scripts? See if this blog could help:
    How Can I Let Users Choose a Default Printer From a List of Printers?
    If the default printer is not configured into the profile settings, and no GPP configured here, how was the default printer installed?
    Besides, for domain printer issue, we have a better forum to seek help with:
