I'm trying to take a path (some type I converted to outlines) and offset the path so the font gets thinner. So I go to Path-->Offset Path and type in a negative value and.....nothing. Did Adobe change things to CS4 I'm unaware of? This used to work.

It works - you just can't see it because it's inside the original paths. Delete those original paths and you'll have what you're looking for.

Yep, you're right. Still, wouldn't it make more see the results of the offset rather than see it layered on top of the original? Makes it easier to figure out what you did and if you set the offset to be too much or too little?

Adam I agree I think it would make sense
