Illustrator help please

I may have asked this before but can't remember. If I have a drawing with lots of brush strokes of varying widths and want to increase the width on all of them by say, 1pt, is there an easy way of doing it, like selecting the whole thing and then doing something to apply the change to everything?

Maybe save a png - open it in Photoshop - select the strokes - select, modify and expand - open it in Illustrator and trace

O boy, there should be a smarter way.
I'm watching this post :-)

Stroke Colour?

- and then, increase the pt size of the selections in the Stroke window pane. I guess it depends on how complex the design is?

Oops, I used symbols and it got swallowed. The beginning should have read:

How about using

Select - Same - Stroke Colour?

But that would only work if increasing all of them to the same weight, no?

i dont know how, but im interested in knowing

in case you don't have like 20 different wights, why not magic wand all strokes with the same weight and doing them one by one, as in, first do all the ones are 3pt, then 3.5pt, etc.

Oh, yes it would...

How about you select them all, and hit the square close bracket key while in paintbrush mode. Does that work?
