I just can't get the same visual effect as the official guide of the book shows.

I like to read Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book (2015 version) now.

In the section for a Quick Tour of Adobe Illustrator CC (2015 release), the author told to select the line Segment tool to draw a line.

Then apply the brush to the line style by choosing Windows > brush libraries > borders > Borders_Novelty and selecting Laurel brush.

But the final visual effect that I received is different from the one in the book.

My work is like:

But the book shows like:

Why are they different? Whence the difference and how to fix it?

Its a great book and the best way to learn in my opinion, it's kind on the official manual,

but this section to early mixes stuff advanced too early, which is probably better to slowly learn the latter, perhaps it's just supposed to preview what coming.

I would like to seriously start on Chapter 1

Get to know the work area

Regarding your question

try to open the feature Panel

and make sure that options are on display and not hidden (the tiny little flyout menu - in the Panel above to right - below X race)

Window > STROKE and clear the checkbox of the dotted line
