Strokes Tab

The Strokes tab displays all of the available strokes that can be combined, in the Sets Pane, to create a sketchy edge style. Click on the down arrow next to a library of strokes to minimize or maximize the library of strokes. Drag-and-drop strokes to the Sets Pane to design a new sketchy edge style. The following image contains the Strokes tab.


Note: An X () is placed next to strokes loaded using items in the Strokes menu. Click on the X to remove library of strokes from the Strokes tab. This option is only available on Microsoft Windows. Mac OS X users must select the stroke library name and then use the Strokes > Remove Strokes menu item to delete a stroke library.

Strokes Tab Context Menu

Context-click (right-click) on any stroke library title to invoke a context menu. The following menu items appear:

Add Strokes to Current Style
Use the Add strokes to current style to automatically populate the Sets Pane with all strokes from the stroke library. You can perform this option on multiple stroke libraries as a way to combine libraries into a single style.

Create New Style With Strokes
Use the Create new style with strokes option to automatically populate the Sets Pane with all strokes from the stroke library. Unlike the Add strokes to current style menu item, this menu item is not additive; it will not add strokes from two different libraries into the Sets Pane.
