New to variable width stroke:

→ Custom width profile previews
→ Snap to pixel grid (or not)
→ Resize multiple width points
Direct editing via input
Variable width strokes are amazing for freeform vibing, but sometimes, you’ll want to use them for more precise work. Maybe you want to taper your stroke widths to exact pixel values. Now you can. Simply select a width point, and double click or click into the width and type your amount.
Tab through width points
With a width point selected, tab to goto the next one...or shift+tab to go back to the previous width point.
Preview custom width profiles & edit via the width profile menu
Now, when you have a custom width profile, you’ll see a preview of the profile instead of “Custom”. You can also edit the width profile from the width profile menu for easier editing if you want something custom.
Pixel perfect widths (or not)
If you have Snap to pixel grid turned on, widths for your strokes will be whole pixel numbers, but sometimes, you’re vibing and you just don’t care. You can either turn off pixel snapping, or, in the moment, just hold Ctrl while dragging to finesse that stroke width.
Resize multiple width points
Sometimes, you want to sync up multiple width points or size them at the same time. Just simply hold shift and select multiple width points, and drag to resize in sync!
