.aero Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've been playing around in Illustrator for a few days now but can't seem to find out how to make hollow circles! Anyone know how to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 i dunno illustrator for beans but i figured it out in less than 5 minutes : heres how: -press the rectangle tool, hold for a sec and select the ellipse tool -create your circle -now in the upper left hand corner theres the fill and stroke of it - first box select the one with the red backslash, second box select your stroke color - third field next to color is stroke width - increase that to get wider "borders" screenie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fagosu Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 My way is a little longer, but I kind of like it: - Select the Rectangle tool and hold to get the ellipse tool - Draw your outer edge circle - Draw ANOTHER smaller circle inside of it to get the inner edge - Use the align palette to center both circles - Select both circles - Open the Pathfinder palette Window>Pathfinder or SHIFT+CTRL+F9 - Select the "substract form from surface area" icon, it's the second icon from the left in the top row - You now have a hollow circle that you can fill with any color, pattern, gradient or image you like.
