kanihoncho Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I am trying to get the stroke that defines the hole in the letter "O" from a very specifically shaped font. I use Layer > convert to curves > expand stroke. I see the frame change but nothing happens to the letter. I cannot ungroup the letter. And the strokes do not appear in different layers. I have also tried Layer > convert to curves > release compound (it is greyed out). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 You could try using the Divide geometry tool perhaps after you convert to curves... Layer/Geometry/Divide or the Divide icon in the tool panel... this works for me.

kanihoncho Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I tried Ungroup All before and it did not work. The Layer/Geometry/Divide command worked. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Learning Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The Layer/Geometry/Divide command worked for me too. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
