Haha, sorry, yeah that's what I meant, a shape with a variable-width (complex) edge.
As long as I can find it wherever it eventually ends up it makes no difference to me what it's called, although since 'stroke' is used throughout the rest of the program it'd probably be best to stick with that. So perhaps "Variable stroke" and "Variable stroke (filled)" or something similar.
Just tossing stuff out there.
Regards, Aaron

For what I've been doing I would agree that adding it to the Shape drop

would be an ideal way to do it, although if possible it would be nice to have a filled powerstroke as one of the options (that creates the cloned original path LPE on a new path below the new powerstroke one).
It actually took me quite a while to understand what "filled powerstroke" was supposed to be, but I finally get it: it's basically "shape with complex stroke." Mouse-over should also explain something along the lines of "creates a shape with complex edge."
I wholly agree that it should be included, I have to redraw the same shapes way too often when I want variable edges.
While we're at it, my "thick stroke" sounds awful ("fat heart attack?"). How about:
- "Variable line" for Powerstroke
- "Variable edge" or "Variable boundary" for Filled Powerstroke?
Opinions please!
