In this tutorial I show you how to create outlines from a stroke in Adobe Illustrator. This is when you need to add a gradient to a stroke, manipulate the edges of a stroke, make bolder text without the stroke outline etc. Whatever you need it for.
I used Adobe Illustrator CS6 in this video, but it will also work in most other versions such as Adobe Illustrator CC (creative cloud).
Thanks for watching 🙂

What about if I have a line expanded and its become an outlined line
———. Can you make it into a stroke that would look like this ————– or will that just become a thin rectangle? I really need to reverse thick expanded lines back to strokes. Help!do this for a straight line
Thank you sir! your title should also be "how to convert paths/strokes into shapes". It took me a while to find this answer, thank you so much!

Not Really nice way because all the effects disappears or get damaget. The best way still just to eraise the parts with Eraser Tool.
