Path effectsThe commands in the Path submenu in the Effect menu let you offset an object's path relative to its original location (see Offsetting objects), turn type into a set of compound paths that you can edit and manipulate as you would any other graphic object (see Modifying letterforms as graphic objects), and change the stroke of a selected object to a filled object that's the same width as the original stroke (see Converting strokes to filled objects). You can also apply these commands to a fill or stroke added to a bitmap object with the Appearance palette. |
