Are you going to Preferences>General>Scale Stroke & Effects?

Thank you for replying! So no but I checked and both scale for strokes and corners are checked...

I think it has something to do with the Live corners function? When I scale

down and the corners thicken I get these little corner widgets? And if I

drag them around It changes the interior of the corner. But change the

sizing of the file and it reverts back to the image I shared originally. I

don't get it: it's just a stroke drawn with a brush... why does it treat

the corners oddly? Any help is appreciated Michelle.

Best,

What happens if you Object>Expand, then try again with stroked paths?

[garricka25660261]

You are welcome, Garrick.

Scale stroke and effects

Window > Transform > Check the scale stroke and effects

you can make it always active by getting in the preferences (CTRL+K) then check it there

What happens if you choose Object > Path > Outline Stroke before scaling?

Looks like you ran into the blob problem with the calligraphy brush.

Try and Object > Expand appearance before scaling it down.

[garricka25660261]

Best,
