Re: Problems with even Strokes
I knew there had to be a less convoluted way of doing this in Illustrator. Thanks for explaining this, Peter. I have searched loads of tutorials for achieving the contour effect in Illustrator without success. My usual approach is to do it in Xara Designer Pro and export it as a .pdf file to Illustrator just to avoid using the method I explained in my original post.
Thanks again,
Bob.

No problem Bob. The trouble with Illy is that it is so powerful that some of the tools are well hidden. Mind you Steve would probably say it too cumbersome and bloated that people don't how to use it. If you can handle the Pen Tool to me that is more than half the battle in learning Illy.
