[SOLVED] Can't use the brush in my project anymore Topic is solved

[schwarzgrau]

I don't know if I accidently switched something on or off, but I can't draw in my project anymore. I closed and reopened it, cleared the selection, checked all layer checkboxes, but with no success. I can still draw in other projects, but even if I create a new anim layer on top I can't draw on it. I guess it's something really stupid, but I can't figure it out.

I noticed that I can draw, but just single dots, like I had chosen the ONE POINT DOT, even if STROKE is selected.

No selection
Not in eraser or any weird drawing mode
No layer blending mode
No stencil
No alpha channel
No password

Hmm...

Have you tried turning it off and on again ?

[slowtiger]

layer not selected
layer not visible
layer locked
layer in funny transfer mode
stencil on
preserve transparency on
outside selection
outside layer without auto-break
wrong tool
funny tool mode
funny custom brush stamp mode
funny custom brush animation mode
tool size too small

Quite a long list what to check before you can draw ... especially the last one gave me headaches, happened when I hadn't disabled the Cintiq buttons.

guides with some unadapted settings.

Fabrice is right! I tried to add some segment guides, but it didn't worked the way I wanted and then I seem to forgotten that I created this guides.
Thank you a lot!

But excelent suggestions Elodie and Slowtiger, especially the tiny brush. Maybe there could be a FAQ regarding often occuring problems and a list of things you could check.

The guide : something new to add in the "why I can't draw ?" list
