Hi! I've tried increasing the miter limit so i can keep a sharp point but it is still being cut off (as you showed in your video) Any idea why this is happening? Thanks!

[@gabym781]

Thanks for the helpful video! :) Pardon my ignorance, but I was wondering: what's the point of offsetting a path when creating a stroke does the same thing? Like in what circumstance would it make more sense to offset a path instead of just adding a stroke? Thanks!

[@DesignMadeSimple]

The problem with using strokes is that it adds unnecessary steps. You'll have to duplicate the object, add the stroke, and then convert the stroke to a path before continuing on as you would with an offset. And strokes only allow you to increase the offset, not decrease it.

Really helpful! Great work, thank you!

Hello~ can I further adjust the offset path after I applied to an object?

[@carollane8694]

Amazingly straightforward to follow, thank you

[@DurangoExtremeSportsChannel]

And if I want to offset apath from a object in the form of a text, how do I get it to be a hole object

[@ten-ub4xd]

how do you change the unit amount with more accuracy, i used to be able to change it by 0.5, now i can only change it as 1?

[@ten-ub4xd]

worked it out, you have to use = , (not a = .)

[@Mico0210]

how to offset the whole drawing as one with different objects? when I tried to offset them every object has its own offset line instead of the whole drawing

[@MarisNeFaris]

Thanks a lot!

[@thefinchhouseshow2630]

Hey love your tutorial do you have 1 on making a flyer

[@DesignMadeSimple]

Not yet!

[@eyedktr11]

Great video. How can you create a new object the size of the edge of the offset?

[@anasigua444]

and how to change the color of the path?

[@nichikyon8561]

Does this work on font, especially on Illustrator 2021?

[@Adlip_Kun]

Thank you so much

[@mackhaelventura9829]

can you repeat adding off set path larger and larger for multiple times?

[@wicem4]

yes

[@jorgeluisgurrola5024]

nice tutorial... :)

[@smalltowngraphics8995]

By the thumbnail I thought you were going to off set the path of the rings on the outside without doing the inside as well. Need that.

[@DesignMadeSimple]

That would work the same way. You'd just have to add a stroke to the offset path afterwards and then remove the fill color.

[@smalltowngraphics8995]

@@DesignMadeSimple thank you. I will try that. I screen print and a lot of time I just need that outside “outline” for things and leave the holes.

[@ananadi4718]

MERCI BEAUCAUP

[@abuzarmehndi2745]

Plz upload long tutorial

[@anwinxavier5525]

[@idgeek]

I realized just now that you cant off set an open curve in Illustrator. it'll work like an 'Outline" function. Stupidest thing ever!
