If you find yourself constantly undoing outlines in Illustrator, there’s a quick and easy way to fix it. Here’s how:

  1. Select the object you want to fix the outline on.
  2. Click the “Outline” button (it looks like a pencil with a dot in it).
  3. In the “Outline Options” dialog box, make sure the “Keep outline shape” checkbox is selected.
  4. Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog box. ..
