  ^ Yes, I can do that, but often I select multiple paths and offset them and then you have to de-click every path. I missed a vital piece of info out of my description... it also automatically groups the original with the offset path, so its not even possible to deselect all then re-select the new or the original stuff separately.

  I can't believe they've actually made this 'improvement' to Illustrator. Its so counter intuitive.

• pylon

  Select your object and then go, Object > Expand Appearance

  It should give you the option of expanding the appearance of just the stroke, or the fill. It'll also vectorise any effects (rounded corners) etc.

  Is that what you mean?

  • Hahah, no.– Orbit1/3

    THis is probably a very good answer to an entirely different question however, so don't lose heart.– Orbit2/3

    Ah, I see now wot you're asking....– pylon3/3

  • they changed it back again– acescence1/5

    But if they introduced this... erm ... 'feature' in CS3 its probably still there in CS4 too.– Orbit2/5

    < we typed at the same time. THEY DID?– Orbit3/5

    yes– acescence4/5

    Oh they are such bastards. I bet they did that deliberately to make sure people had a need to upgrade.– Orbit5/5
