: Adobe Illustrator draws multiple shapes while drawing single shape I'm trying to draw single shape using shape drawing tool in Illustrator but, when I hold click and slide my mouse, it draws

Well, This usually happens when using the Tilde (~) key.



It's a "Continuous Duplicates Based on Mouse Movement" function and combined with Alt/Option, Shift/Command and spacebar you can create new and complex effects.

Are you sure your Tilde key is not pressed or locked somehow?
Also, try drawing a circle while holding the Tilde key pressed...

I'm asking cause I don't know of a setting in Illustrator that will do this automatically...
