  @vectoradmin ok I think that makes sense! I found a video of what I'm ultimately trying to accomplish and really, it's not in any of the vector apps. Even in this vector inking video by Hydro74 he uses the pen tool set the fill/no stroke (keep volume low or off until after it starts - there's just background music) The pen tool can accomplish this but it's lacking the free-form of the pencil and the creative process is slowed by the need to lay down nodes. Sometimes i just want to be able to keep the forms totally freehand and natural and see the result fill as I go... I think it would add a real hand drawn dimension

  @Boldline Yes, the brush tool will always switch form the plain (solid stroke) to a brush. This is by design for now. To paint with a plain stroke (including tapering), use the Pencil tool. II open a new bug on this one, to have the brush tool paint with solid stroke also.

  @encart Box selection of corners is an open issue (not always working right). I also managed to replicate the issue on Windows (Control+Click is not working). I will open a new bug around these corner issues.

  @Boldline For example, you have a drawing with lots of these brush strokes (tapered, or just variable width from pressure sensitive tablet). You want to find them so that you can expand and convert to curves. That is when you use this select action.

  I tried to replicate it again as well. I think I had copied it when it was still selected using the warp tool. When I tried again using the transform tool, it carried over the warp successfully to the new document

  @Boldline It's in the name of the tool — Copy Style. Simple click with it copies the fill(s), stroke(s) AND the image effects of another object. Shift-click picks only the fills and strokes from vector objects and color from bitmaps.

  Ok.. Do what works best. I'm not a programmer. I guess what I was seeing was that the initial pieces used to make the blend were left behind after the blend was made. But I'm not saying I'm right or what I'm suggesting is best

  @vectoradmin Thank you for explaining! This makes more sense. I had seen the combine option in the boolean operations panel but my Illustrator brain was not computing that - I get it now

  @vectoradmin When you add it, it could probably go in the same place the path simplifer is now - or it could be a built in part of the path simplifier and make it a toggle or option as to how it gets used. Just my thoughts

  @vectoradmin I also like the tool for rotating and getting back to the initial angle located at the bottom left of the app. Just really 'noticed" it That is helpful as well. Easy access and location

  @b77 thanks - sometimes it's hard to know where to look in the preferences. "changing options" wasn't clear enough to me to know to go there. Not that I have a better name idea lol. thanks again
