Working with lines, outlines, and brushstrokes | 127
Different corner styles were applied to the upper and lower row of triangles. Different line caps were
applied to the lines in the upper-right corner. Arrowheads were applied to the lines in the lower-right corner.
You can set the miter limit to determine the corner shape in objects containing lines that meet at sharp angles. Corners with angles above
the miter limit are pointed (mitered); corners with angles below the miter limit are beveled (squared off).
In addition, you can specify the position of the outline by placing it outside or inside the object, or centering it so that it overlaps equally the
outside and the inside of an object. The effect of outline position options are more obvious with thick outlines.
You can specify the position of the outline. Outline options from left to right: Outside, Centered, Inside.
The default line and outline properties for each new object that you draw are as follows:
• hairline width
• black color
• solid line
• square corner and line cap styles
• centered outline
• no arrowheads applied
• outline applied on top of an object’s fill
• outline not linked to an object’s size.
However, you can change any of these default line and outline properties at any time.
You can create calligraphic outlines. A calligraphic outline varies in thickness, creating the effect of a hand-made drawing.
Creating cuttable outlines
To create a cuttable outline for devices such as plotters, vinyl cutters and Print-Cut devices, you need to assign the appropriate predefined
color name (usually CutContour) that is specified by the device manufacturer.
