Bi-color contour brush
I want to suggest to the Adobe Illustrator developers the creation of a brush that allows for precise adjustments of both the line width and the outline width in millimeters, and that, when lines intersect or overlap, it combines the elements and creates a continuous outline around them. This would allow you to create patches for milling machines.

You made two similar requests: one for the desktop version (this one, and it allows it, in a way I described), and the one for iPad (this one — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/50798900 — and there is no solution on iPad, other than making a duplicate of your path).

How to adjust size on iPad? I need 0,4mm line with outline 0,25mm?

Bogdan, Illustrator allows to create these today, using Appearance panel.
Take a look at the test file attached, please.
The path on the left is a more simple method, but it’d work only for the uniform stroke weight.
The second path is put into a group, and it allows to include other objects into it and still get the uniform red contour.
Both methods have their use and are easy to use when saved into Graphic Styles.
Does this cover your need? Please reply.
