: How do I stop Illustrator filling in areas of a path even when 'no fill' is assigned I'm using a 0.5 3pt round brushstroke and no fill yet Illustrator often fills in areas where there is

This is caused by the calligraphic brush settings and the size at which you are drawing.

To fix an existing stroke:


Edit the options for the brush used on the path. Lower the brush size in the options dialog. For example, reduce its size from 3 pt to 1 pt.
Select the path(s) affected by the size change.
Increase the Stroke size until it matches the original visual size. For example, increase from 1 pt to 3 pt.


If a calligraphic brush is not needed on the stroke, you can simply change to the Basic stroke. This removes all calligraphic properties from the stroke.
