  stroke alignment anomaly

  Posted by Steven Godber on October 28, 2014 at 5:15 pm

  hello folks who know.

  i’m experiencing an odd anomaly when it comes to aligning the stroke along the path of an object which is formed from a compound path. A cut-away section of the object disappears when i align the stroke to Outside.

  
  figure 1 shows the stroke aligned to center.

  
  figure 2 shows the stroke aligned to Outside. for reasons i do not understand, one of the cut-away regions in the letter G has disappeared.

  i’d be truly grateful for any help.

  thanks in advance.

  steve.
