blob brush size

[jay fresno]

I'm using the bracket shortcut keys to enlarge and reduce the size of the Blob Brush. Is the size of the brush displayed anywhere in the Illustrator work area? I would like to know the size of the brush without having to double-click the Blob Brush to view the Blob Brush Tool Options.

probably something wrong with your preferences as it is displayed on the canvas.

Wade,

I appologize for not making myself clear. I do see the size of the brush, just as you showed in  your video. I need to know the number of the diameter. For example, diameter: 72 pt or diameter: 42 pt, and so forth. The Info panel doesn't display this information, and the only way I've been able to see the number for the diameter is by double-clicking the Blob Brush in the toolbox to open the Options dialog. It would be more convenient to see the number of the diameter without having to go into a dialog box. Photoshop shows the brush diameter in the Options bar, and I am looking for similar in Illustrator.
