Did the brush width indicator change? I don't see a difference

@Boldline Those options are for previewing the smoothed brush shape.

@Ayo Thanks, that makes more sense now. I agree a little more info would help explain those settings better

@VectorStyler Where do we switch between the two different modes for the eraser/path brush tool? I'm not seeing the option in the context bar or in the path brush and eraser panels. Thanks

More meaningful fewer words

How about "Preview Erased Area" or "Preview Erased Shape" ?

Preview Erased Area" or "Preview Erased Shape

That does not point the user to the 'smoothing' property, that's the core I think. 'Shape' is in VS a too commonly used word in my opinion with many applications/meanings.
How about "Preview Erased Smoothing" or "Preview Eraser Smoothing"

Show Eraser Shape
Preview Eraser Shape Smoothing
Preview Erased Area
Preview Erased Shape
Preview Erased Smoothing
Preview Eraser Smoothing

It is not just the smoothing that is previewed, but also the variable with profile (if exists) or pressure.

@VectorStyler Ok.
Then "Preview Erased Shape" is now my favourite.
Or ...
"Preview Erased Shape Properties", but that's again too long and complicated. Then "Preview Erase Properties"?

Show Eraser Shape
Preview Eraser Shape Smoothing
Preview Erased Area
Preview Erased Shape
Preview Erased Smoothing
Preview Eraser Smoothing
Preview Erased Shape Properties
Preview Erase Properties

Hey @VectorStyler I didn't want this question to get lost in the mix. Where do I go to swap between the two methods of using the path brush and eraser tools? thanks!

I understood that this question is about those check boxes. Is it about something else?

ok maybe I'm all set - I've updated the build since then and the icon for the path brush and eraser are both the current circle with brush inside and no longer the elongated cross hairs. Maybe I need to play around with it more but the two settings do not seem as different anymore from one another. I will test it more and get back to you
