  • How to make entire path object warp as it appears after Effect Warp Arc.

    Hi.
    I have a path object that I want to export to Roland Cutstudio for cutting vinyl decals.
    I need to have the object arced to get the shape I need. So I used the Effect, Warp, Arc to get the shape I need.
    But the problem is that the paths stay unchanged as a straight baseline. Only the Appearance on the screen change. So when I use the Roland Cutstudio plug-in, the paths are exported without the arc-effect. You can see in the lower left hand corner on the screenshot, how the Roland Plugin sees the object, without the arc effect)
    So my question is, How can I arc the path object in Illustrator so that also the PATHS arc in the same way as it the Appearance on the screen?
