Can't change brush stroke default

[krist78063901]

I am an experienced user, and this is a new problem for me. I used to be able to set a brush and continue to draw with it without having to go back to the menu each time.

Right now I can't (using the brush tool or pencil tool):

• Use any brush or preset and have it be anything but 5 pt. round. Each time I start a new brush it uses:

• Set a different brush as default. It always reverts to the above.

• I can't change the brush in the top menu or the brush fly out menu, it reverts to the above.

• If I try to set a new brush before I draw, it reverts to  the above.

• If I try to set the brush to Uniform, it reverts

• I can set a new brush in the brush panel, but then can't get rid of that. Nothing I do will allow me to use a basic, uniform line to draw with.

Basically to draw, I have to draw with the above brush, select the line or lines, apply a different brush. On every single line.

It's very frustrating.

If you want to draw a uniform basic line, use the pencil tool, not the brush tool.

In addtion in the appearance panel uncheck "New art has basic appearance".

Hello @Zaeni Ahmad,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, details of your workflow, and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3vFW1lj), as suggested by Monika, so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
