Changing a path’s appearance by varying pressure and speed
You can change the appearance of a path using the Path Scrubber tools. Using varying pressure or speed, you can
change a path’s stroke properties. These properties include stroke size, angle, ink amount, scatter, hue, lightness, and
saturation. You can specify which of these properties is affected by the Path Scrubber tools using the Sensitivity tab
of the Edit Stroke dialog box. You can also specify how much pressure and speed affects these properties. For details
on setting options in the Edit Stroke dialog box, see “Working with strokes” on page 136.

Editing with path operations
You can use path operations in the Modify menu to create new shapes by combining or altering existing paths. For
some path operations, the stacking order of selected path objects defines how the operation works. For information
on arranging the stacking order of selected objects, see “Stacking objects” on page 59.

Note: Using a path operation removes all pressure and speed information from the affected paths.
Combining path objects
You can combine path objects into a single path object. You can connect the end points of two open paths to create
a single closed path, or you can join multiple paths to create a composite path.
