Is There Stroke Style Order On Adobe Illustrator?

Hi friends. I am newcomer on Adobe Illustrator so I don't really know so many things at the moment but I really saw so many good things and impressed, too. But even though I am impressed with Adobe Illustrator, I couldn't find the thing I needed so I had to ask here. I need stroke style order. For instance, when we painted an object, there must be and order like paint, stroke or stroke, paint. Like priorities. Those who used Inkscape knows it for sure. Where can I find it on Adobe Illustrator? Please assist me. If you couldn't understand what I mean, you can take a glance on this video so that it'll be more clear for you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1luZHDUGcMPJs9bYmYrFaiJVd0VeXKxbt/view?usp=sharing

I am not familiar with Inkscape, but please understand that the structure of Illustrator is almost certainly fundamentally different.

 

If I understand what you are asking for, then yes, there is provision for setting the order of fill and stroke (as well as adding multiple fills and strokes, and adding and setting the order of effects, etc.) in the Appearance panel. You will find it advantageous to read available material in the Help menu, perhaps starting here.

 

I think you will find some aspects of Illustrator more or less “intuitive”, others not so much, especially as you are accustomed to a different way of accomplishing results. This is a community of Illustrator users whose sole aim is to help each other, so if you have additional questions, or if what I have told you falls short of your needs, please come back and ask.

Thanks. You got what I mean and I found it. It's really in Appearance panel. In summary, Inkscape is an good app, but it needs tons of enhancements. There are a lot of minus features. On other hand, Adobe Illustrator is has lot of features but there are some errors which are need to be fixed. So I can say Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape is has similar features, but Inkscape is has less features when compared in my opinion and needs lots of enhancement, on other hand, Adobe Illustrator is impressive. I wish you a nice day!

Sincerely yours, GAMBOT.
