When I Live Trace a raster scanned image (line drawing) in Illustratoer CS6 I get two lines creating (inner and outer) outlines with a fill instead of just a single vector stroke, is there any way to achieve just a single stroke of my line drawing please? Many thanks for any help.

Miss Sparkles,

In addition to what Ton said, to get stroked paths, you may use Strokes under Tracing options:

Always expand after image tracing to get things to work.

Select it/them and Object>Image Trace>Expand.

You can choose and modify the Line Art preset (but you may not get the simple lines with minimal anchor points that you might expect).
