bwackv Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello, I'm making three logos on a business card using vector mode on iPad and I can't figure out why one of them (the left most one) has thicker lines even tho I have set the stroke to .5 pt for all three objects? Attaching a screenshot. (side note: I tried to rectify in illustrator but when I place (or open directly) similar problems occur and, also, my layers are eliminated.)

gdenby Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Looking at the drawing, I have to think the different drawing portions are not objects, but groups of curves, or just curves associated by placement in space.. Each curve would have whatever the line weight that the tool that made it had when in use. The line weight panel you show only applies to the stroke as it will be applied currently, not how it was applied before. I hope that made sense, 'cause I'm inferring a lot from looking at the screen shot. If you select 1 layer(curve) that does in fact have a .5 stroke, and copy it, the rest of the the curves can be selected, and have "paste style" applied, which will transfer the .5 line stroke attribute to all. Its been years since I last used Illustrator, but layers in AD vs. AI do not quite refer to the same thing. If my recollection is correct, an AI layer can be a group of objects placed on a sheet of tracing paper, as it were, to be hidden or exposed as needed. AD layers can also be hidden or exposed groups of object. But there is a hierarchy of effects and clipping within AD passed between the top most layer, and each underlaying ones.

bwackv Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 thanks for your reply gdenby, so should I go into the hat (the object on the left) individually to each curve and try to change the stroke to .5? they are all drawn with many curves.

Just select 1 curve, and make sure its stroke is set to .5. Use the Edit/copy command, and then select all the others. Then use the edit/paste style command. This will transfer the .5 stroke attribute to all the selected at once. bwackv 1 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
