2. Choose Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
The resulting compound path is grouped with the filled object. To modify the compound path, first ungroup it from the fill or select it with the
Group Selection tool.
Use the Layers panel to identify the contents of a group.
Remove the fill or stroke from an object
1. Select the object.
2. Click the Fill box or the Stroke box in the Tools panel. Doing so indicates whether you want to remove the object’s fill or its stroke.
3. Click the None button in the Tools panel, the Color panel, or the Swatches panel.
Note: You can also click the None icon in the Fill menu or the Stroke Color menu in the Control panel.

Select objects with the same fill and stroke
You can select objects that have the same attributes, including fill color, stroke color, and stroke weight.
Note: The Select > Same > Fill Color, Stroke Color, and Stroke Weight commands work within a Live Paint group when you select a face or edge
with the Live Paint Selection tool; other Select > Same commands do not work. You cannot select same objects both inside and outside a Live
Paint group at the same time.
To select objects with the same fill and stroke, select one of the objects, click the Select Similar Objects button in the Control panel and
choose what you want to base your selection on in the menu that appears.
To select all objects with the same fill or stroke color, select an object with that fill or stroke color, or choose the color from the Color panel or
Swatches panel. Then choose Select > Same and click Fill Color, Stroke Color, or Fill & Stroke on the submenu.
To select all objects with the same stroke weight, select an object with that stroke weight or choose the stroke weight from the Stroke panel.
Then choose Select > Same > Stroke Weight.
To apply the same selection options using a different object (for example, if you have already selected all red objects using the Select >
Same > Fill Color command and now you want to search for all green objects), select a new object and then choose Select > Reselect.
To consider the tint of an object when selecting based on color, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Illustrator >
Preferences > General (Mac OS), and then choose Select Same Tint %. With this option selected, if you select an object filled with a 50%
tint of PANTONE Yellow C and choose Select > Same > Fill Color, Illustrator selects only those objects filled with a 50% tint of that color.
With this option deselected, objects with any tint of PANTONE Yellow C are selected.
Create multiple fills and strokes
You use the Appearance panel to create multiple fills and strokes for the same object. Adding multiple fills and strokes to an object is the basis for
creating many interesting effects. For example, you can create a second, narrower stroke on top of a wide stroke, or you can apply an effect to
one fill but not the other.
1. Select one or more objects or groups (or target a layer in the Layers panel).
2. Select Add New Fill or Add New Stroke from the Appearance panel menu. Alternatively, select a fill or stroke in the Appearance panel, and
click the Duplicate Selected Item button .
3. Set the color and other properties for the new fill or stroke.
Note: It may be necessary to adjust the position of the new fill or stroke in the Appearance panel. For example, if you create two strokes of
different widths, make sure that the narrower stroke is above the wider stroke in the Appearance panel.
Create strokes with variable widths
About the Width tool
The Width tool is available from the Tools panel. It allows you to create a variable width stroke and save the variable width as a profile that can be
applied to other strokes.
When you mouse over a stroke with the Width tool, a hollow diamond appears on the path with handles. You can adjust the stroke width, move the
