      @VectorStyler Is this where I switch back and forth between the different eraser/path brush functionality? Between VS letting it go where it may or auto-correcting the beginning of the action based on the end? Because I have these off on both computers but still get different cursor icons and functionality

        @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

              I agree a little more

              More meaningful fewer words

                How about "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"

                  1. Show Eraser Shape
                  2. Preview Eraser Shape Smoothing
                  3. Preview Erased Area
                  4. Preview Erased Shape
                  5. Preview Erased Smoothing
                  6. 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
