Using calligraphic stroke attributes
Calligraphic stroke attributes simulate a calligraphic pen by letting you use any object shape as the
tip, or nib, used to draw a stroke. You can change the width, height, and angle of calligraphic
stroke tips.
You can use any object that consists of a single closed path as a calligraphic tip.
To apply a calligraphic attribute to a selected stroke in the Object panel:
Select Calligraphic in the stroke type pop-up menu.
To use an object as a custom calligraphic tip:
1
Select the object you want to use as a calligraphic tip.

copy the tip object to the Clipboard.
You can now copy the calligraphic tip object into your document or use it to create a
calligraphic stroke for another object.
