Hi

I did draw this on My iPad, opened in Adobe illustrator and now want to convert this path and fill to editable path (normal illustrator path that I can interact with 🙂 ). Is there A menu for this task up there?

TIA

Correct answer Monika Gause

In the forum your remark about features will probably stay unnoticed by Adobe engineers asat least 95% of users are not staff. Only folks marked as "Staff" are staff.

Please post feature requests on http://illustrator.uservoice.com

The Illustrator Draw app doesn't create strokes. It converts everything to shapes immediately.

The long answer is no.

There are workarounds that might or might not work.

One is to rasterize the drawing and then use Image Trace to trace Contours. Since there are overlapping paths, this won't work too well.

The other method is to split the path in two and then make a blend with one step to get the centerline. Will be a lot of manual work.

thank you for the answer.

I read your reply and do not believe what I see. We are so encouraged to use Adobe's mobile  tools, but the transition from the iPad to the desktop actually makes it impossible for me to handle the work I created. I think Adobe needs to rethink on the transition from iPad to desktop.

Perhaps, but thanks to your friends at Apple and Cisco, they are vastly disparate platforms. Overcoming the challenges of making that iPad > desktop transition seamless for you is neither Adobe's strong suit nor their responsibility. It was decided long ago, far outside Adobe's engineering labs, that authoring apps that work on iPad is a very narrow tunnel. Digging such tunnels is habit for Apple.
