Tomeric Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 AD is already an impressive tool... but it produces far too many points when converting shapes to curves. That makes it a poor choice for creating glyphs which shall be used on websites and for creating fonts. Example/attachment: Here I've drawn an ellipsis and converted it to curves. Illustrator needs 4 points for a circle, AD about 25. Hope, you will improve that... フィリップ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtrem Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I tried to recreate you findings in AD and I got this result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomeric Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ah sorry, I wasn't precise. The culprit is the "Expand stroke" command in the "Layer" menu, which I use quite often. If you draw a circle, give it an outline but no fill, and than call "Expand stroke", you'll get what I illustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtrem Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Okay. I see what you did. That's good to know. I just naturally gravitated to the donut shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
