can't align a stroke to inside

[kililio]

Hi,

I 've created a shape (Rectangle) , Applied a rounded corners, expand appearance, and a linear gradient.

After that i added a stroke in the appearance panel (2pt wide), filled it with white and when I wanted to align this stroke to inside

I can't.  The options "Align Stroke to inside" "Align Stroke to Outside" are greyed out .

What's wrong ?

Thank you

This glitch has just caused me to lose 5 hours of work after drawing a complicated floorplan and then finding out the client wants EXACT dimensions based on inside stroke measurement -  and this after cutting up the all the open paths for door openings. No way to re-align the stroke. Darn.

It's not "a glitch". It's how this works. Open paths don't have an inside or outside.

But still you can align the stroke to one side. By using variable width profiles. They can be aligned to just one side of the path and they don't need to be "variable".

Just select the object, go to "object" the click "expand", accept, and you are good to go.

Have you read the initial question? And there even is an answer.
