I saw on another post that to create hairlines (which I need to laser cut my designs) I should use the outline pathfinder, however this makes the lines invisible. Is there any way to have visisble hairlines in Illustrator?
When I outline the path and set the stroke to black, the path gains a thickness of 1pt.
Are you sure you need a real hairline or something like 0,001 pt?
Can you check the manual of the cutter for that?
It is impossible (since many versions) to specify a 0 width line in Illustrator.
I thought you found a smart way to do that using Pathfinder Outline, but it does not always work.
What seems to work is; fill the object with black and none fill for the stroke.
Use Pathfinder panel > Outline
