Brush Variance PSPx6

[brucet]

I'm having a brain failure or a bad dose of old age.
View/Palettes/Brush Variance. Only works with Paint Brush or Air Brush. I could have sworn I used it with other Brushes such as Chalk, Crayon etc.
When I bring up Paint Brush/Spray all the options are there. However when I bring it up with say Chalk or Crayon. Nothing. The window opens with Options, Settings, Jitter etc but I can't do anything. Dead.

I'm using a Wacom and want to take advantage of the pressure sensitivity with these drawing tools. But nothing.

Any clues on what's going on? Or did I just imagine that these tools used the Brush Variance options? (According to PSPx6 help menu they 'should' work).

I have never known the art-media brushes to work with brush variance.

In my experience, Clone, PaintBrush, AirBrush, and to a lesser extent the effects brushes were the only things that used Brush Variance. The effects brushes only using a very small subset of all variance options.

But never the art media brushes. I could be wrong and maybe it happened before, but I don't recall that at all.

LeviFiction you may well be correct. I just had a feeling that they also were subject to Brush Variance.
