Blob bursh size increment

[Sorontar]

How could I make blob brush size increment smaller when using shortcuts.
1 pt  -  3,8 pt  is huge step.

[Ton Frederiks]

When using the bracket keys it grows with 1 pt increments here.

[Sorontar]

What is it called? Increase/decrease diameter?

[Ton Frederiks]

Diameter or size would be good names.

Do you use these [  ] keys to change the size?

[Sorontar]

I have custom shortcuts for Increase/decrease diameter. I investigated a little. Default shorcuts are indeed the bracket keys. Why would we have different increments?
Windows 11 and latest illustrator. You?

[Ton Frederiks]

Mac OS and the latest AI. What happens if you use the default instead of your own?

[Sorontar]

It works with Illustrator 2022, but latest versions is always buggy. I need always have all Adobe programs to have 1 version earlier to be installed. So many issues. Only lately I have turned backed to 2023.

[Sorontar]

Default shorcuts dont change anything.

[Sorontar]

I had to copy all the content into new file, then it works. That feels so random that file can corrupt such a thing.

[Sorontar]

For a 1 minute and it is broken again.
1 pt - 3.8 pt is the sweetspot for my illustrations. It feels like I have to make everything 200% size and later scale down. Even the pen pressure 3.8 is too much and 1 pt not enough.

Can you tell us about the construction fo the art. Is there anything that you did not create from scratch like a corel draw import or ESKO plug in?

Are there any strange elements like a nested symbol with a strange character in the name like / or : that could interfere.

Hello @Sorontar,

We understand that technical issues can be a source of frustration. We hope that the suggestions provided by Mike and Ton were helpful in resolving the problem. If this was not the case, please provide us with additional details, such as the precise version of the OS/Illustrator, system configuration (CPU/GPU/Memory), and a screen recording of the issue (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/screen-record-an-issue-on-windows-amp-macos-f...). This will allow us to conduct a more thorough investigation.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

1pt is also what am seeing here, and what it has always been as memory serves. I am on Mac OS Monterey English and AI2023. That you have 3.8 appears to be off. While there is no direct pref to change that I still would try

PREFS  RESET MAC (thorough method) substitute 27 for your version

Quit Illustrator

Finder >> Shift Command G

~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings/en_US/Adobe Illustrator Prefs

rename Adobe Illustrator 27 to Adobe Illustrator 27old

PREFS  RESET MAC (other)

Quit Illustrator

Finder >> Shift Command G

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 26/

rename Adobe Illustrator 27  to Adobe Illustrator 2 old

PREFS  RESET WIN (other)

Quit Illustrator

Press Win+R -> appdata -> Roaming -> Adobe -> rename folder "Adobe Illustrator XX Settings"  to anything else like "Adobe Illustrator XX Settings_old"
