Why does Illustrator do this and how can I change it?
Alright, so when I begin using Illustrator, everything seems fine and dandy. I draw a line, and it looks nice. However, things go wrong with my second line. If the line is even CLOSE to my first line, it will instead of becoming a new line, replace the old one. This is intensely frustrating, and I don't understand how anyone can use the program when it does this. Please HALP!

All about me



I can't wait to get printed on threadless one day, and I'm not going to stop until I do. And then I'll get three more and have my own select tee. ^__^

If you have any questions (which you won't because no one ever even looks at this stuff) just ask me...

Which reminds me, threadless should have a messaging system.
