The result was adjusted and fine tuned. March 1994 Washington Apple Pi Journal 37 I Outlining 1 2 A Stroked Path 4 1. Draw a complex design with strokes and no fills. 2. Experiment with different stroke widths. 3. With all the lines selected, choose 3 the Objects filter: Outline Stroked Path. Then apply Pathfinder Filter: Unite. 4. Only when the stroked paths have become outlined can they can be filled with patterns or gradients. TIP: This is a very quick and easy way to make some street maps.
