Hello everyone – I seem to have a problem when I create a outline of a shape in the 2D Shaper. When I create the outline my original shape changes to a slightly larger shape. Am I missing something. Thanks – mark

Mark Outline works from the original out. It creates two new shapes each half the distance away from the original. You could keep a copy of the original, use twice the desired distance, and replace the new inner shape with the original. Easier done than said.<g> TedB !^NavFont01F0007MGHHGDEA7CA

Hello Ted – I tried your method and another from Steven Elliot. In order to keep my original size as the outside shape what he told me seems to work. ie:clone the object on top of the original, I then have my original outlined on the inside & outside – I deleted the outside and to my amazement it worked. Thanks for the tip. Are you going to be at the next user group? I'm going to try and finish a robot by then. Maybe even some animation. later- mark
