Using the stylus to affect stroke weight and opacity (Pro only)

Under Brush Settings in the Vector Paint effects, the Stylus Radius option affects stylus sensitivity. When you select this option, the pressure of the pen on the tablet changes the weight of the stroke as it is drawn. Lighter pressure decreases the radius (creating a thinner stroke), and increased pressure increases the radius (creating a wider one). The Radius value setting indicates the maximum radius amount. Use the tablet settings to adjust the pressure-width sensitivity for the pen.

Use the Effect Controls window to turn this option off and on: Select the Radius option for Stylus under Vector Paint. When this option is turned on, an X appears in the Radius check box and a checkmark appears by the Stylus Radius command in the Vector Paint options menu.

Note: You can choose Stylus Radius even when no tablet is installed. This option affects strokes when wiggling is enabled.

The pressure variation of the pen on the tablet alters the opacity of the stroke as you draw. Light pressure results in lower opacity values, while increased pressure creates more opaque strokes. The Opacity value defines the maximum of the Opacity range.

As with Stylus Radius, you can select and specify a stylus Opacity. When stylus Opacity is active, an X appears in the Stylus Opacity check box in the Effect Controls window, and a checkmark appears by the Stylus Opacity command in the Vector Paint options menu.
