How to stop illustrator from smoothing scatter brush

Hi everyone, I have this problem when I use scatter brush the brushstroke move away  from the original path  forming an approximate shape ,I wish this did not happen.

I have already tried with a brush pattern, in this case the path is recise and constant without tolerance but the shape of the pattern is deformed and I need the pattern to remain unaltered.

Thankyou

Andrea

    Thank you very much for finding the problem. I am a cartographer and I often need lines with this symbol to traverse slopes, skips, boundaries and the conventional signs used are small. If someone finds a solution to get around the problem I'm always interested, have a good day!


    You're welcome.

    Thank you for the interesting question.

    I would definitely report it as a bug:

    Maybe it can be addressed in some future version.

    Hello

    I see this thread is more than 2 years old but I have the exact same problem and I'd be very interested in whatever workaround that you would have found.

    Did Adobe get back to you with a solution?

    And thank you for your clear description of the issue. It is so very specific that I thought I'd never find anything about it.

    Please show the scatter brush options. That artwork is definitely not the base artwork.

    When I do it, it looks like so:
