Pattern outline help

I have a stained glass pattern that the outline between glass pieces is to big, is there a way to enlarge all pieces while keep outside frame dimension the same? Or make the outline curve not as thick while still keeping outside frame dimension?  Thanks Michael


Here is the file in my dropbox.

  • You could probably do this using the Contour tool.

    1. Ungroup the design and place a copy of your red leading object onto a new page. Press P while it's selected to center on the page.

    2. With the leading object still selected, choose the Contour tool. On the property bar choose the Inside Contour option, 1 step and  a 0.02" width (you can change the width as needed). Change the color of the contour fill to something easy to see, like bright green. Click up one and down one on the # of steps to make it apply -- or open the Contour docker and click Apply.

    3. Break the Contour apart, keep the green object and delete the red.

    4. Resize the new leading object to match the size of the original.

    5. Use the Smart Fill tool to create new glass shapes inside the new leading.
