    Hi, I’m trying to make my image 0.1mm larger. When I select it and go to Object>Path>Offset Path, I can create the offset. The problem is that it creates a negative path as well as a positive path. How can I just have the positive (outside, expanding) path?

    The object is a simple square, which is completely closed

    Thanks

    I found the answer. The file was exported from Solidworks. It needed to be released from a compound path, and then ‘joined’ first.
