: Is there any way to add a round cap on a pattern brush stroke? I'm trying to create laces with rounded ends, so I created my pattern then turned it into a pattern brush with Auto-Between

I'm trying to create laces with rounded ends, so I created my pattern then turned it into a pattern brush with Auto-Between cornering.

No matter what I do, the "Round Cap" setting under Stroke settings has no effect. If I use a pattern fill I get the round cap but then I don't benefit from the pattern snaking its way along the line like a real shoe lace.

Is there any way to get this to work or a work around? I'm using the latest version of Illustrator CC 2015.

I would just create a circle of the same diameter and slice it in half, align it to the end of the line and merge the shape.
Another way is to make the line a shape in the object drop-down (outline stroke) and then do the same, with creating a cirlce... but then it converts your shape to a line graphic.
If you change any line to a brush, the line properties are not the same, because they are not working with solid lines, but curves and the ends of the brush reflect this.
