You got it…seems like it should be simple but here is what happens,
I select the grid, and i see all the necessary strokes, although are not bent they represent each bent 2pt strokes …I select object>path>outline stroke…the “red” bounding box and paths just go away, not permantly but until I reselect it. Yikes, try it again the same…blah blah.
This should be easy. I also notice that the warped strokes (bend) ones could be a bit smoother I see some alias’ing…
I have been importing and Rastersizing at high res and scaling back down to my 72 dpi workspace… in photoshop to smooth (anti-alias) the bent lines a bit.
Thanks for your help…seriously
