Creating an outline of an expanded stroke

[Patricko]

I want to make a vector object from a stroke I created with the pen tool.. I need to make this (filled line with stroke) over and over again. How would I do this?

Anything you draw with the pen tool is already a vector object. Look in the layers studio and you will see the object. To duplicate select it in the layers panel and then select Edit-Duplicate. Perhaps if you shared a screen shot including your layers panel we might be able to help further.

Hi @Patricko,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Select the vector object, tap the ellipsis icon on the top of the interface and select Expand Stroke (Designer only).
