Ive imported a vector graphic from illustrator.
It had a black outline.
Now i want this outline to disappear.
Ive disabled the outline, but its still there.

Why that?

Use "Select shape" tool
Click on your shape that has the black outline.
Now got to Style window.
Go down to "Enable outline" and uncheck it.

Black outline disappears.

Hi undo!

I downloaded your file and selected all points and, with the line width tool, I dragged all to the left and voila, the outline is gone.

So try with the "line width tool"

The reason appears to be that you have two hair shapes welded or affixed somehow on top of each other. One hair shape (brown) is on top of a second shape (black outline). It is not a brown shape with a black outline. It appears to be is a brown shape on top of black outline shape....or something. Never seen anything like that before.

Kind of strange - what program did you use to draw the hair?

Could be caused by the way Moho imports .ai files from that program or the way you drew and exported the file in the drawing program - don´t know.

I got rid of the black line from your file. (Delete the brown color so you can get to the black outline to delete it, then refill it with hair color.)
But it would be easier just to redraw it your .ai file without a black line and import it again or draw it in Moho.

Ive done the hair in Freehand and then exported it as an ".ai" File.

How did you delete the black outline?
I´ve also deleted the brown, but still couldnt delete the Outline.
Well, only with that trick with the line width tool, but i think thats not the ideal way to do it

No I don't think either it's the ideal way, I tried the way Toontoonz did and that's the way to do it of course, then you'll get rid of unnecessary material as well.
to delete it you point the select shape tool at the line and you'll see that a shape with only an outline checked will get selected in the styles window, then click delete and it's gone. ( I had to, as Toontoonz said, delete the brown shape first to be able to see the outline shape)
