Hi Alan,
highlight your object and create your outline object with the off-set object function (It's in the toolbar, some blue rectangles, next to the stippling button in ES2006). Or which version are you using? |

Hi Alan,
you mentioned before that you are working with ES65; I was not asking for the level, but for the version. If you don't know, just let me know the color of your dongle, the letter before the figures on the dongle would also be an indicator for the version |

Alan,
as far as i remember, go to Insert/off-set object and follow the windows. Remembe, if your outline comes out e.g. as run that you can convert the run by highlighting/right-click - Input C with Satin stitch
