Anyone else experiencing issues custom brushes on the PC version in SB Pro 2011 5.2? I have spent 30/40 minutes creating and saving some very distinct brushes in a new brush set and software experiences a problem and then closes and new brushes are gone. Also, consistently crashes deleting custom brushes. Also, picking a custom brush for deletion and it deletes the brush beside it.
I am running Windows 7, 3.0ghz AMD Dual-Core processor, 4 GB Ram (not even 50% in use). Very annoying to say the least.

I have the same problem in the creation of custom brushes : experiencing identical issues.

My PC : Windows XP SP3, 3.0ghz AMD ATHLON II X2 250 , DDR2 4 GB Ram 533 Mhz.

I finally uninstalled Sketchbook completely and went to my hidden folders and deleted the Autodesk SB preferences folders. Yes folders, plural. What I found was that I had two prferences folders on for SP1 and one for SP2. It seemed that Sketchbook may have been getting confused as to where it was saving my custom brushes and preferences. Once I deleted both folders, I reinstalled and haven’t had any issues since. Of course, I didn’t make a copy of my custom brushes so I lost them all. No big deal as most were created for very specific pieces. So, in a way it kept me fresh and creating brushes new brushes not so specific to a single drawing.
