Create custom brush - internal program error

[JArtist]

I'm trying to create a custom brush in X6. (I want to make a brush, not a picture tube). I am trying to follow the old instructions for version 9 that someone posted, but when I click the button that says 'create custom brush from selection', I only get an error that says, 'internal program error. unspecified internal error'. Can anyone enlighten me?
thanks

Thank you for posting the instructions from the help files. They're pretty much like the version 9 instructions that I was working from. But I have followed these instructions and when I attempt to create the custom brush from a selection I still get the same error: 'internal program error. unspecified internal error'. This is where I am getting stumped. I'd appreciate it if anyone had any insight. thanks!!
