I have some coloring book pages that I'm working on. I have lots of groups that each contain multiple thicknesses of lines. I need to make the ones closer to the front a touch darker than those in the distance. Is there a way to select a group and add .25 thickness to every line in the group? (Or whatever other increment needed.)
Okay, first time replying to any thread on here, so sorry if I get the convention a bit wacky. This is the quickest method I have found:
1. Go to Window
2. Click Transform
3. Open the Transform Menu (on my PC it's the "hamburger" symbol)
4. Turn ON "Scale Strokes & Effects"
5. Enlarge the entire group in which you are wanting to increase stokes proportionally by the end percentage you are wanting. (E.g. if I want to increase a stroke by 300%, then enlarge the entire group by 3 times by constraining proportions and multiplying either the width or height by 3)
THEN - and this is where the magic happens -
6. Go back into the transform menu
7. Turn OFF "Scale Strokes and Effects"
8. Reduce the entire group by the same amount that you increased it by. (E.g. divide the width/height by 3 in this example)
It works a charm! The only caveat is that it will also increase effects by the same amount, not just strokes, but perhaps this cuts out a bit of the tediousness.
