Adding a brush stroke to the pen tool?

How do I get a textured line for the pen tool?

I have looked at old Photoshop CS6 videos and they do not work on Photoshop CC 2018.

I cannot get the pen path to change into a different brush stroke.

How to do this?

It's frustrating searching google sometimes because you need the exact term! I was searching "pen tool stroke"

but "stroke path" brings up other video.

You may want to start by providing the pertinent information – the tutorial you refer to, a screenshot including the pertinent Panels of the file with which you have problems, … because so far it is not even clear what you mean by

pen path

A plain Path, a Vector Mask, a Shape Layer, …?

And what exactly should

textured line

describe?

this is the video, very short, 1 min - could skip to the end to see the result

the person was able to add a paint brush to the pen tool.

first they made a path with the pen tool, then they added a brush stroke to it to make it look different.

the video is very straight forward however it does not work on photoshop cc.

at :45 on the video is where they change the look of the pen tool line.

To stop creating Shape Layers and instead create plain Paths you can change the Pen Tool’s setting in the Options Bar from »Shape« to »Path«.
