  Create outline for effect?

  Posted by Naveen Mallikarjuna on December 28, 2010 at 7:05 pm

  Very basic question, but I can’t seem to figure this out.

  I have some text. I’ve put a Warp effect on it. Now I’d like to create outlines so there are editable points, but with the final vector path appearing like the effect (so that the effect is not necessary).

  Beautiful, thank you!

  But I found it Object > Expand Appearance. I’m on CS5 — perhaps Adobe moved it 🙂

  You’re right… I didn’t have Illustrator open to double check that. Glad it solved your problem…
