You may create and use an Artbrush from two horizontal rectangles (of arbitrary length) with the desired thickness (corresponding to Stroke Weight) set apart with the desired vertical distance; drag them to the New Brush button in the Brushes palette/panel and select Artbrush, just use defaults.
Any path using the brush will show as two equidistant paths, one on either side of the actual path.
Or you may use the Appearance palette/panel: in the flyout Add New Stroke, set the Stroke Weight of the lower stroke to the total width and that of the upper stroke to the desired distance, and turn the latter white.

3. Re: parallel wavy lines
Skullmaker Mar 15, 2010 11:48 AM (in response to badchess)Hello Badchess,
One thing I do, is to make all the lines I want in a pre-determine space. Then I select all the lines and I use "Vertical Distribute Space" tool (located in "Align" window), This will set all the spaces evenly.
Please note that CS3 bug does not allow you to use this feature from the main menu, you have to use the Align Window.
I hope this helps!

There seems to be two interpretations here: should the distance be the same aligned to Page (same displacement vertically/horizontally or the like, as in a wavy pattern) or aligned to Path (same distance perpendicular to the paths, as in a railway track)?

6. Re: parallel wavy lines
Doug Katz Mar 15, 2010 1:47 PM (in response to badchess)The irregular spacing is a function of the live effect. Blending isn't perfect under these circumstances. If you make a symbol of the zig-zag path, then duplicate, then blend, you shouldn't have the problem. Alternatively, you can expand the path, duplicate, then blend.
Or you can just listen to Wade. Which never fails by the way.
