Hi,
How do I outline the Round Corners effect?
I have drawn a rectangle outline, and applied the Round Corners effect. I need to now outline both the stroke (easy) *and* the round corners effect. What I need is a path, containing the outline including rounded corners.
I'm trying to export an illustration to XAML and it doesn't seem to support the round corners effect, thus it needs to be part of the path and not an effect.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

First use the Expand Appearance option from the Object menu and then use the Path>Outline Stroke from the Object menu.

A side note (probably already requested):
Wouldn't it be coherent if the Expand Appearance command eventually were accessible right on the Appearance palette? That would be its native location, it seems …

You can use the Object > Path > Outline Strokes to expand & create the outline in one steps.

No. This converts live shapes to paths.
Round corners effect still is expanded with "Expand appearance"
