Illustrator changes my lines kind of ugly randomly using wacom (different than the discussion post found here))

Hi there!

So basically I enjoy when Illustrator smooths my lines a little bit and makes them better.

BUT! it does a weird shaping that I do not enjoy when curving and I don't know why.

Maybe it's a brush option? IDK...

Using Adobe illustrator CC. and a basic Wacom Bamboo grey tablet.

Thanks SO much.

Artur,

It is the Blob issue solved by Kurt with the Effect>Distort & Transform>Zig Zag (setting the Size to 0 and Ridges per Segment to a sufficiently number (up to 100, you may get away with fewer)).

In your version, it has probably been been moved to the Appearance palette (click the Stroke listing).

See post #4 by Kurt in this rather old thread with a link:

This is an old known issue, but at least there is a bumpy workaround to solve it. See here:
