Double Lines

[jeydee]

Is there an easy way to draw double lines (parallel lines) like for drwing roads or walls?

thanks.

Well i recommend the line/curve tool ( :LineCurveTool: ), holding shift while using it gives you a completely straight line. you might want to take note of the co ordinates that you draw your lines at to give you an idea where to start/finish the other.

hope I Helped

Thanks for your reply. But that was not really my question. I want to be able to draw double lines together whether using the brush tool, the straight line tool or the free hand tool (think of it a very thick line using the brush tool but showing the ouline of the line only (without the solid fill inside)

For double lines I just:

Open a new canvas.

:AddNewLayer: Add a new layer.

:LineCurveTool: Draw my single line.

:DuplicateLayer: Then I Duplicate the layer.

Now Select All (Ctrl+A:SelectAll:) and use the Move Selected Pixels Tool to move the copy of my first line to where I want it.

BB00 seems to like the new buttons

Brush types aren't available right now, but they should sometime next year or something.

Yeah, I have 'em memorized!

Of course that's not as hard as it sounds...

Thx barkbark00, works fine for straight lines, but not curves or circles.

I just find out a way to do it using Outline (still experimenting with it). Open a new layer, select a very thick brush (25 pt or so), draw your lines, then select Ouline from the Effects menu.

:DuplicateLayer: Duplicate Layer, and Flip :Horiz: ??

Duplicate layer and...

- Ctrl+Shif+Z to use the move

or

- Panelling plugin

or

- M, Ctrl+A, then cursor key

Sorry MadJik, none of your suggestions works for this purpose, as already explaned above.
