Brushes in animate drive me crazy!

Hi,

 

I still don't understand why it is so hard to pick a brush from the Brushes library with the brushtool, fluidbrushtool or Pencil. The only available tool for brushes is the Linetool.

Can someone explain to me how this works?

(Adobe animate 21.04 MacOS cCatalina)

thanks!

    It's just bad UX and bad naming, but it's not hard.

    The brush library works with the Paint Brush tool (and the Line tool), that's all.

    1. Choose the Paint Brush tool as your current tool from the Toolbar.

    2. From the Brush Library browse and choose a desired style. Double-click on it to make it current.

    3. Adjust the Stroke size (thickness) and other settings to your liking in the Properties panel.

    4. Draw
