On Topic: There is a way to do it by making a pattern and using that as a stroke, but I don't know how to do that. You can draw the lines pixel by pixel and once you get a couple duplicate the layer then spread it out, merge them, rinse and repeat.

If all you are is making simple lines - just use the spacing setting on the pencil or pen tool?

But it depends on what version you have as they move it around each version (that I have messed with) CS, I am not sure, "If you are using PS 7, there is a tab for "brushes" in the upper right corner. Click on that - drop down - click on "Brush Tip Shape" and on the bottom is a slider that sets "spacing" .... Voila." for PS 7

Off topic: I don't want to use [email]name@ximensions.com[/email] because I don't want to get any spam. Geocities..yes I know, it's just temporary, till I find a proper host.

On Topic: Thanks, but I figured out a way.

The trick is to use some spacing and Angle Jitter set to Direction as explained in http://www.planetphotoshop.com/PeteBauer74.html
