Saving a new shape as a vector file

[Doh18]

Hi,

I created a new shape - circle to diamond via pucker & bloat. But everytime I try to save it as a vector file, it gets saved as the original circle. Why is it happening? Please help!

Object > Expand Appearance makes the effect permanent.

Yay, this works. Thanks, Ton!

But if you mean that saving as SVG makes it a circle again, that is a bug.

After Expand Appearance, use Object > Path > Add Anchor Points as workaround
