Adobe Illustrator/brush strokes

Question
I'm using wacom tablet. I just installed illustrator
yesterday actually; and i tried it.

=/ I have a problem using the brush tool because they seem
to auto correct the strokes that I make. sometimes the
pointy strokes became rounded and I have no idea how to fix
it ><! How do we stop the program to stop changing my lines?

Answer
Hi Soel,

This has nothing to do with your Wacom tablet, this is how the brushes behave. If you double click the brush tool in the toolbar, you can change the tolerance and smoothing options to make it follow your path exactly.


Thanks
