No pen pressure option after update AI CC 2018

[Frida2017]

Hi,

after I did the last update just a few days ago (AI CC 22.1) my pen pressure option under brush settings disappeared. It is still shown for the blob brush nut not for the paint brush anymore. (I used a pressure sensitive, calligraphic brush)

Any suggestions how to fix that? Its driving me crazy 😞

Thank you for some help!

Options completely changed....

Hi,

Can you clarify please, are you talking about this option?

Because 'Blob brush' tool has this option under tool options dialog. But for 'Paintbrush' tool this option can be found only in the settings of each individual brush in the 'Brushes' panel.

Thank you! That solved my first problem... But it still doesn't apply the pressure function anymore. Stroke always looks the same. It worked perfectly before I updated AI. I am completely new to AI.. So I am confused  

Thanks!

Check the 'Variation' option. It should be the same as the size of the brush.

..Its also greyed out. By some reason, it always jumps back to uniform in the top bar menu, even if I choose a different option. When I open the option tool, it jumps right back to uniform and deactivates pressure an variation.

..Its weird, almost all brushes have the pressure options greyed out now, or don't even open the option panel anymore. Somehow, the whole brush option is messed up now. Didn't have that problem with the older version ..

I see... It looks like the problem with Wacom drivers. You should try to reinstall the drivers.

OK, I´ll try that. Thanks!

... I reinstalled the drivers, restarted my computer, but still the same problem 😞

Try and reset the Wacom preferences. If that does not help:

Contact Wacom.

Will try that. Thank you!

THAT fixed it!! Thank you so much!!!!

Other Question, I saw you founded the German Illustrator User Group. Where can I find that group or can I join it? .. Sorry, off topic, I know, but I so want to learn a more skilled use of AI ..

Thank you!

We are mostly a virtual User Group, since it's difficult to organize meetings across the country.
