    Offset Path No Longer Works Ai 17.1.0 Windows)

    Pariah Burke CommunityMVP

      I've just noticed--and had it confirmed by two others--that Effect > Path > Offset Path produces no effect in Illustrator CC (17.1.0) in Win7x64 and Win8.

       

      Activating the Preview option in the Offset Path dialog shows no effect. Clicking OK to apply an Offset Path effect produces neither a result nor an effect entry in the Appearance panel.

       

      I confirmed that it WAS working in Ai CS6, and recall using Offset Path previously in Ai CC, though I can't check a prior build of CC to find out when it last worked.

       

      UPDATE: Offset Path does NOT work with default values, but DOES work if any of the values are changed by the user. The effect entry on the Appearance panel can then be edited to go back to the default 10px/4 values if needed. Preview in Offset Path never works.
