Select the top copy and use the ‘Expand Stroke’ command, and then subtract the expanded ‘stroke’ (which is now a filled shape with no outline) from the top copy of the other two shapes.

Ebonea Posted November 30, 2021 Author Posted November 30, 2021 Expand Stroke makes corners rounded - it is not solving the issue Quote
G13RL Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Hi @Ebonea, If I understand the request correctly, you can get this by using the "Appearance" tab in the studio. Draw the orange shape with a black outline, switch to "Appearance". In this tab, add a new white outline (aligned inside), place it under the black outline and adjust its thickness.
