redfish 1 Posted October 23, 2009 OK its fri and I am having a brain fart, I outlined some text in illustrator cs, applied some perspective in free transform and an arc. The type looks fine but the path is still the original shape. How do I convert to be able to cut? Thanks for any advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuttingedge 1 Posted October 23, 2009 After you've done the transform, go to Object and select "Expand Appearance". That should outline the tranformed images instead of the original text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karl 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Not to mention that Ai is not as intuitive nor straight forward as it could be, should be. some features are only available when specific tool windows are open, many features are not clearly explained. aka it doesnt always take a brain fart to make it difficult to get done what you need to in Ai.
