Multiply path More than 3 times

[robertz13062725]

Hey all,

I am looking for a way to multiply an existing path by a factor of 6, for example. Triple works with the path shift.
But that's all I've found.
Specifically, I am recreating a transit map and need to draw 6 partial lines between 2 stations.

Looking forward for your help! 

thx!

There are plugins available that do it. Astute Graphics has one and Rick Johnson has the other.

On top of that you could create a brush.

thinking about it: I even have a video about that: https://youtu.be/Yft1WpyYmm0

You may also take a look what custom brushes can do for you (Art brushes, Pattern brushes).

Did you mena to say paralell. Not sure what you mean by triple. There is not a path shift, but an offset path. If you provide a screenshot we maybe abel to assist better.

You can use the appearance palette to create this, adn even more intricate items for a transit map. uses dashes to create train tracks.

Hey all,

yeah, sorry you're right: offset path. I tried it. But these colours will get duplicate/mirrored to the other side. 

Attached is an extract of the original transit map and it shows 6 lines. 

What I want to have is kind to draw a line and then multiply it. The distances should be adjustable somehow so that all parameters are identical.

Did you watch my video?

I have now seen it: perfect. I received great help, so the design process can now start.
