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 grassClump. By default, each of these strokes has the brush name, grassClump1, grassClump2, grassClump3, and so on. You could select all brushes with names containing “grassClump” 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

  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.
