Hello folks,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to make the brush in Illustrator behave like a normal brush/pen...
Currently when i draw close to a line i have created it alters or deletes the first.
Anyone know if you can stop it doing that? (so stuff like cross hatching etc.. can be done)
Any help would be much appreciated.

comand click away before you draw the second line

Hello agentfour.
Thanks, yep thats what i currently do but was wondering whether i can make it so that you don't have to command click... Some sort of magic preference... Anyone else know whether it's possible?

double click the brush button in the tools palette and deselect "keep selected" and "edit selected path within:" options
