: Diagonal lines for brush stroke or dashed stroke I would like to stroke a path with 45 degree diagonal lines that are set a fixed distance of of 0.125 inches to each other. I'd also like

You could simply use a dashed stroke....



Unless you actually mean you want all the hashes at 45° at all times. In that case, the closest you'll get is a pattern brush after some effort. And brushes distort around curves. So, I don't know what you'd do in those situations.

Something like this?

I kinda hacked it, so hopefully someone has a proper way to do this.

What I did here was use the text tool over the path, and fill it with pipes | (Shift + )(above the return key).

Next I changed the tracking, baseline, and text rotation in the Character window to get the lines spaced and angled properly.

Hopefully this is what you're looking for. If not, hope it steers you in the right direction!
