    Hi,

    You can fill the path, as well as define the stroke settings in the "path" panel. (Window ->Path)

    Right click on the path layer (or on the path itself ) will open a menu, where you can set the fill and stroke settings.

    Hope it helps,

    Olga

    Olga is correct--the stroke and fill options can be found when you right click on the Path layer, and you can also choose them from the dropdown menu at the top of the panel.

    I just want to add one other cool feature—the dialog box that appears when you select stroke gives you the option of choosing from any of your drawing tools. Setting the color and line weight of the tool you want to use before you access the stroke gives you greater control over your line.

    Options in the Stoke Path dialog:

    Turn on Simulate Pressure to get a more freeform stroke:

    Have fun!

      If the previous post should not have resolved the issue please post a screenshot taken with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Paths, Options Bar, …) visible.
