Hey, does anyone know how to outline a dashed line (paths menu) in illy? I am running cs3, and every time I try to outline a dashed stroke, it outlines my stroke as a solid line.
thanks

if i'm understanding you correctly, you may need to expand the dashed stroke first?

object/ flatten transparency.

Expand Appearence. Same deal as Flatten Transparency, but one less step.

That opinion is not available. 'Expand' is, but it's the same amount of steps. I can't wait for CS67 when you can control everything with your brain.

I stand corrected!
Actually, Expand won't do the trick, you do have to use Flatten Transparency after all.

I think they changed that in CS3. I don't remember Expand working with CS2 but it does now. Go figure.

thanks guys, it's always good to get help here. This is one of those things that you have to know exactly what to search for, in order to find the answer.
I never would have thought of flatten transparency...or knew what the hell it was for that matter!
