Illustrator fills curves unwanted

Hi,

 

when using my own brushes in Illustrator (which aren't very complictated, just "pressure-sensitive" as you can see in the example)...

... Illustrator fills the curves automatically.

Not, when I'm drawing large format, but once in a while I have to draw small vignettes or want to reduce the size. Small means: about a centimeter.

 

First I thought it might be a problem with the wacom tablet I got, but the support convinced me, that it had to be a problem with the software... I had the same problem already with CS3 and 4, now again with CS6.

 

Maybe it's only a problem with the settings, but it drives me crazy.

 

Thanks a lot,

Staubfluse2000

    It's a long-existing problem with AI's Brushes. Sometimes making small anchorPoint/handle adjustments can correct it. For a crude fix, sometimes running the Add Anchor Points command can help.

    Thanks for your quick answer!

     

    And Adobe isn't able to fix it?

    What I do since years (now that I know that it's not my fault I can betray it without feeling like a fool:) is cutting the lines.

    But it's more than annoying...
