Working with Pencil Presets
A preset is a pencil with specific properties. You can work with regular pencil presets and thickness stencils.
Regular pencil presets allow you to set the size and smoothing of the line or shape. As you draw, the thickness of the line varies according the amount of pressure you apply with a pen and tablet.
Thickness stencils that are indicated with this icon are also set with specific properties, but disregards the pressure you use with your pen and tablet. The line thickness varies. You can access thickness stencils from the list of presets on the Tool Properties view or create your own.
