Add a stroke to text or object

You can add an outline, or stroke, to your objects. You can add both inner strokes and outer strokes. Inner strokes are outlines along the inner edge of your objects, and outer strokes are outlines along the outer edge. You can add up to 12 strokes to each object. After you add the stroke, you can adjust its color, fill type, opacity, sheen, and texture. By default, strokes are listed and rendered in the order you create them; however, you can easily change that order.

  1. Select the object.
  2. In the Properties section of the Title Properties panel, expand the Strokes category.
  3. Click Add next to either Inner Stroke or Outer Stroke.
  4. Set any of the following options:
    Type
    Specifies the type of stroke you apply. Depth creates a stroke that makes the object appear to extrude. Edge creates a stroke that encompasses the entire inner or outer edge of the object. Drop Face creates a copy of the object, which you can subsequently offset and apply values to.

    Size
    Specifies the size of the stroke, in scan lines. This option is not available for the Drop Face stroke type.

    Angle
    Specifies the offset angle of the stroke, in degrees. This option is not available for the Edge stroke type.

    Magnitude
    Specifies the height of the stroke. This option is available only for the Drop Face stroke type.

    Fill Type
    Specifies the type of fill for the stroke. All the fill types, including Sheen and Texture, work exactly like the Fill options.

    Select and deselect stroke options to experiment with various combinations.
