Stroke width

You can specify a stroke width (thickness) between 0 (zero) and 10,000 points (about 350 cm). A stroke width of zero creates a special case stroke which is one-pixel wide on whichever device you output to. You can select any stroke width by using the Width slider in the Appearance category of the Properties panel. For more information about using sliders, see Panel widgets.

The Stroke Width slider sits to the right of the Stroke button.

Tip: You can increase or decrease the current stroke width by pressing ] or [ (square brackets).

Note you can also change the stroke width measurement system independently of your document measurement system. For example, you might want your rulers set to centimeters, but your strokes set to pixels. For more information, see Units and grids options.
