  • Cannot stroke paths of multiple shapes…

    Posted by Tom Hawcroft on November 22, 2014 at 1:04 pm

    Hi all,

    I have imported a simple image from illustrator, converted vector paths to shapes, but I am unable to apply a stroke outline. Fill is fine, but the stroke just displays a question mark. There are about 10 shape ‘groups’ in this layer, and I’m sure there’ll be an easy fix but at the moment I am stumped! Any assistance much appreciated..

    Many thanks,

    Tom

    The stroke option in the menu bar displays a question mark when the shape has no stroke.

    Add a stroke to all shapes by selecting the shape Contents in timeline then from the Add menu choose Stroke.

    To add a stroke to individual groups select the individual groups and add the stroke using the same method.
