Expand Stroke across all separately grouped objects?


Recommended Posts

I notice that I can't expand the stroke (create a shape from the outline) of different groups of objects, even when all selected.
I have over 100 groups of items and need them all to be grouped again after the Expand function has completed.
doing it manually would take an age.  Any ideas folks?

Hi @Wood,

what works for me is to use the new 'Select Object' in the latest beta version. It offers e.g. 'Select Stroked Objects and this does exactly this. Expand stroke then works on all objects at once.
