Question
i want to design a letter "A" on Adobe Illustrator with an outline to be able to
cut it in a printer/cutter , its my first try , can you help me ?
Hi Ahmed,
Using the Type tool (T), click and type your letter A. You can also select this to make it any size you choose. Next after you have the size A you wish, go to the Select tool (V) making sure your letter is selected (not with the type tool, but with this new tool). Then go to the type menu and choose "Create Outlines".
Thats it. Your type is now outlined.
Thanks
Kevin
