Is there a way to output the wireframe view of a multi layered vector artwork ?

I am starting to create some artwork of lettering that i wish to transfer to a blackboard so i can repaint it.

i could go through all the layers of the artwork, add vectors together (blending) copy the layer then paste the style to subsequent layers. its not the worst work around but i have upward of 20 layers on some artwork. the outline view is so perfect as its center aligned thin lines...🤔

attached picture is the outline view i, so love.....

Thanks

WORK AROUND: I inadvertenlty created the process by trying to explain my work around above lol. here is a finessed explanation.

First make background white....

1: goto first layer and deselect or remove any fill

2:select outline, choose align stroke to center

3: make stroke desired colour (75% grey)

4: select 8.0 for the point size. may need to goto 6.0 or less for smaller lettering

5: if its a font convert to curves and expand the stroke then use add in pathfinder to combine letters into one outline

6: if its hand drawn vector i would still expand the stroke so it copies the style for subsequent layers

6: copy then paste tosubsequent layers

7:: it doesnt seem to matter if other layers you are pasting to are hand drawn or a font as paste seems to override everything.

its helped me as a work around anyway

if anyone has a better process or better wording please adapt, happy to finesse it.
