Paint Effects > Curve Utilities > Make Pressure Curve

This lets you create a stroke pressure curve, which is a visual representation of the pressure values along the stroke. For more information, see Modify stroke pressure values interactively.

Note

When you have finished editing with a pressure curve it is a good idea to delete it. Pressure curves have an associated expression and this should also be deleted. You can find the expression using the Expression Editor and listing expressions by name. It is safest to delete the expression before deleting the pressure curve.

Paint Effects > Curve Utilities > Make Pressure Curve >

These are the options in the Make Pressure Curve Options window.

Control Points: Set how many control points you want along the pressure curve. The more control points, the smoother the transition between pressure points. Pressure points in between these points are linearly interpolated.
Offset Scale: Set how far the pressure curve should be offset from the stroke. This has no effect on the pressure values—it just controls the position of the pressure curve, so you can set the scale according to your scene.
