Drag Dot The Drag Dot option doesn't behave much like a brush at all; it simply enables you to position a
single dot of brush influence onto the surface of the mesh. The dot follows the movement of the brush until
you lift the brush and then is fixed to the spot where you left it.
Anchored The Anchored option changes the behavior of the brush with respect to the movement of the pen
ormousedevice.WithAnchoredactive,thepointwhereyoubegin“drawing”actsasthecenterofthebrush's
influence, and the point to which you move the pen or mouse is treated as the perimeter of the brush's in-
fluence. The result of an Anchored brush with default curve is shown in Figure 3-6 . The arrow in that figure
represents the movement of the pen or mouse device from the center of the brush's influence to its radius.
