Select brushes in your scene

You can select all the brushes in your scene and view them in the Attribute Editor or Attribute Spread Sheet.

You can also select brushes with names containing a specified string of characters. For example, suppose you paint several strokes using the brush preset called grass. By default, each of these strokes has the brush name, grass1, grass2, grass3, and so on. You could select all brushes with names containing “grass” and quickly change the color for all of them in the Attribute Spread Sheet.

To select all brushes in the scene

1. Select Edit > Select All by Type > Brushes.

To select multiple brushes by name

1. Select Paint Effects > Select Brush/Stroke Names Containing. The Select Brush/Stroke Names Containing window opens.
2. In the Name fragment box, type the characters contained in the brush names you want to select.
3. Click Select Brushes. Open the Attribute Editor to view each of the selected brushes or use the Selected menu in the Attribute Editor.
   TipTo select all strokes that were painted with the same brush, you can use the select command on the command line. For example, to find all strokes painted with the grass brush, type the following in the command line and press Enter (Windows and Linux) or Return (Mac OS X):

   select “strokeShapegrass*”
