Hi Robert,

as Karti already pointed out here:How can i change rectangle contour the property is strokeWeight.

FWIW: Setting the strokeWeight to zero, export and resetting the strokeWeight to its old value is no good idea.

You would have to memorize all other properties of a stroke to make that work without issues.

What could go wrong? The color of the stroke could change after resetting the weight.

And some other properties of a stroke could be changed as well.

What can go wrong will depend ( for example ) on the activate object style in the Object Styles panel.

Too much to memorize…

So I would do it differently.

Do a duplicate of the graphic container and work with that.
Reset strokeWeight of the duplicate to 0 .

Export the duplicate.

Remove the duplicate.

See Jongware's resource for older versions like CS5.5:
