Yea so I want to report something weirdd with the line and brush tool. So lets say Im using both in a project, and in one part I need both straight and curved lines that are the same size and color. Fr some reason, if you make a line with a 3 width, it is thinner than a line made with the brush tool with 3 width as well. Can anyone fix this?
Why don’t you just use a line tool for the part instead of brush? You can also curve lines and that fixes your problem
The brush tool is pretty weirdly executed in a couple of ways:
With the default settings, the brush width is relative to the screen, not the project. So if you zoom in or out, the brush will technically be smaller or bigger. This “Relative Brush Size” behavior can be turned off in the toolbar when you select the brush.
Additionally, internally, the brush is making a lot of approximations, which usually makes it bigger than it should be.

When you are drawing, the brush starts as a pixel-based shape. After releasing the brush stroke, the editor approximates it into a vector shape. With larger brush sizes it’s usually pretty good, but when the brush is only a few pixels big, approximating the vector gets far less precise, resulting in a worse brush stroke.
The way the brush works right now is kinda weird honestly, and I’m hoping we can implement a much better brush in the Candlestick fork.
For now, if you want an accurate small brush, you have to 1) turn off relative brush size and 2) zoom in as much as you reasonably can.
