OK. I know how to make a Pen Outline scale with an object when I create the pen outline. But is there a way to give the scale with object attribute to all pen outlines in a compound object such as a vector clipart I purchase (or even some of the Corel clipart)? The most recent example is a state highway map I just downloaded. All the roads, lakes, rivers, county lines, etc. are created with pen outlines, but none of them scale when I scale the map larger or smaller. As you can guess there are literally tens of thousands of them on the map. Is there a way to make all of them scale without also making them all the same color and thickness?

Might take a minute if there are thousands.
Thanks. Who knew there was such a feature. Probably been there forever. It's been 10 minutes and it's saying the program is unresponsive, but I guess I'll let it run a while.
Try selecting the clipart and pressing the F12 key and checking Scale with object, that should fix it
Good one Chris. Never thought you could make global changes in that dialog box.
Yeah, it's a life saver for Clipart and AI files. Only limitation is if there is a bitmap in the group it wont work.
I get around that by Ctrl selecting the bitmap in the group and cutting it from the group then do the scale outline trick and then pasting the bitmap back.
Cheers,
Chris
