I have a file that was handed to me. It is a drawing of a power pylon made with a bunch of strokes of varying thickness. There is no fill just a bunch of parallel strokes. I would like to “outline” the silhouette made by all these strokes with a path for laser cutting. Pathfinder/unite did not work. What is the best way to accomplish this?

This should work:

- Select all
- Object menu > Path > Outline Stroke
- Pathfinder panel: Unite

You should now get one single compound path.

You had a similar request recently in conjunction with Live Paint. It was helpful to share a sample Illustrator file.

In this case it would also be helpful to share a sample file for inspection.
