: Can I change the pressure amount of a brush line –drawn by mouse pen- after I drew it? I am using Illustrator for doing some calligraphy, and I am not really experienced with this program.

I am using Illustrator for doing some calligraphy, and I am not really experienced with this program.

I am using a mouse pen with pressure to draw/write calligraphy. My question is: Can I change the pressure amount after I drew lines using brush tool?

Let’s say I drew a line, it is good but still not satisfactory. I just want to do a little change in pressure amount in some segments –not all the line- on line. Does Illustrator give me this option?

The best way I know to do this is via DrawScribe, a plug in from astutegraphics.com.
While you can use the Width Tool within Illustrator to manually adjust, add, or remove, width markers you have to do this on a one-at-a-time basis which can chew up time. Drawscribe allows you to draw path, then alter it's setting via commands after it's drawn. I'd encourage you to download the demo and try it. It's not a free plug in, but it's definitely worth the cost in my opinion.
