Question

Problem with scatter brush on curved paths

I made some different scatter brushes, but they all have the same problem. The bush doesn't follow the object paths, see image. No idea how to make them go along the blue line. Anyone any ideas?

      Can we see your Appearance Panel? It's as if you had a "Transform Effect" assigned to the stroke:

        There are no effects in the appearance panel, BUT if i add the Zig Zag effect, and increase the number of ridges per segment, the problem is fixed.

         

        Thank you very much!!

        Can you show the Appearance panel with the object selected?

          I caneasily reproduce it without an effect

           


          Now I can too 🙂

          Make a very very tiny brush.

          Have you tried making a "pattern" brush instead of a scatter brush?

          Yes, but that gives not the right options to create this kind of brush. It should just follow the line which it doesn't.

          That circle is very small, right?

          It also happens with large circles or shapes

          Long shot: Is "GPU" turned on?
