Hi Chucky.

With a Line Fill there are no actual AS lines used. You overlap two shapes and make the top one smaller than the back one to give the appearance of a line going around the outside. The characters I posted above don't have any line work in them at all....they are all just filled shapes to give the appearance of lines.

I agree with you on the line width tool....it does some strange things to in AS sometimes.

Ahhh DK , that very tricky, nice idea.
Sounds scary....

On the subject of lines, and with the habit of AS generating line breaks and the like, one thing I end up doing more than I'd like, is creating a separate shape purely as a line and place that on top of the fill shapes.
Doesn't always work but helps.

Yeah, it's a black stroke. I wanted a single stroke to adjust so it'd be easy to do with camera zoom, I could probably get away with a milder color than black, but I think it works well.

What I did was create a single outline shape for the whole thing. (Selecting all excluding the lines that should be hidden) I named this outline shape so it'd be easy to find, and gave it a five width black line. Then I just match making this shape transparent as my camera zooms in.
