I might be going about this the wrong way and am having trouble doign this.
I have some artistic text, that I converted to curves. This artistic text, included outline which I would like to keep with the text. But now - I would like to apply a fill, to fill the entire creation, including the outlines, seamlessly. Basically, replace the outline color with the fill, and the fill itself - such as linear fountain fill.
How should this be done?
yea,, as harry said... convert the outline to object (Ctrl+Shift+Q). or you may use contour tool to make an outline then break it apart (Ctrl+K) so u can fill it as you want to
