I'm trying to make a radio knob for a logo and the copy does not let me outline it.

I don't think my Illustrator is working the way it should. I'm on an iMac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 4GB.

I can't seem to do the Outline of a Circle not TEXT OUTLINES.

Thank you !

That tutorial does not use strokes. Instead it uses two circles, one smaller than the other with the smaller one on top, and then subtracts the smaller circle from the larger circle using the Pathfinder > Minus Front command. The result looks like a stroke, but it is not. It is a filled shape.

The tutorial moves rather quickly so you may need to pause it periodically to see exactly what is going on.
