Edit Pencil Lines

The Edit Pencil Lines Dialog Box lets you edit the pencil lines’ properties such as pencil texture and line thickness.

Icon	Parameter	Description
	Presets	Allows you to add and delete presets. This can be done using the Add Preset and Delete Preset buttons on the right of the list. The default preset name is Custom. Presets are saved in a file in the user preferences. NOTE When modifying a saved preset, the name will revert back to Custom. Any changes in values made will in turn be treated as a new preset without altering the original.
	Texture	Allows you to select a texture for the pencil line. Selecting <Remove Texture> will remove any existing texture from the line before alterations. Selecting <Keep Texture As Is> will maintain the existing texture and allow it to be altered.
	Thickness Multiplier	Will allow you to thicken or thin a line by a specified value.
	Apply Multiplier to Tips	Check Apply Multiplier to Tips below to apply the multiplication to the pencil line tips.
	Additional Tip Multiplier	Apply an additional multiplier to extend the line tips. This will affect the quality of the line’s head and tail. A lower number will create a flatter, more abrupt head and tail. A higher value will create a rounder and tapered appearance.
	Set Thickness	Will convert the pencil line thickness to the specified numerical value. NOTE Must choose to use either the Thickness Multiplier or the Set Thickness option. They cannot be used simultaneously.
	Apply to All Colours	When checked, modifications are made to all pencil lines, regardless of their colours. This option will be beneficial if there are multiple coloured lines being stylized in the same way. NOTE This checkbox will not be available if only one pencil colour is selected.
	Apply to Colours	This dropdown menu will allow you to select one or more coloured lines to be affected. This is useful when you want one or more specific coloured lines to be influenced but not all. NOTE This dropdown will not be available if only one pencil colour is selected.
	Apply to All Drawings	When checked, the pencil style changes will apply to all selected pencil lines on all layers. When unchecked, the pencil style changes will only apply to the pencil lines of the currently selected layer.
	Preview Drawings	The dropdown field is enabled when multiple drawings are selected. The dropdown will list all of the selected drawing layers. The drawing you select will appear in the preview window below.
	Slider	Allows you to adjust background colour. The background colour can be shifted between black and white. This allows for greater visibility of certain colours.
	Zoom In	Will zoom in to the drawing being previewed. TIP You can zoom in using the mouse wheel.
	Zoom Out	Will zoom out of the drawing being previewed. TIP You can zoom out using the mouse wheel.

NOTE

You can pan your drawing by clicking and dragging anywhere within the preview area. This ability is most beneficial when the drawing selected is larger than the preview area.
