Just installed Illustrator earlier today. Decided to load up a vector I've been working on in Photoshop into Illustrator. Just wondering how to export the outline view? I tried setting it in outline mode, and then exporting it, but it just exported the regular image.

Haha, well basically, what Melissa did for her Ironman vector:
 In Illustrator, when you go to View > Outline View, all your paths show up like this. Problem is, when I do enable Outline View (or "Mode," I forget) and try to export the image like this, it ends up exporting the image in normal view.. |

the problem with view > outline though is that it's not really removing the fill, it's just showing only the stroke, i think. it's not really changing anything other than what you see on the screen, it's not changing the actual image. pretty much everything under the "view" menu in illustrator only has to do with how you're viewing it within the program, you know? toggling from one to the other.
that's confusing, and not really helpful. i do'nt know homie maybe melissa can shed some light on what she did to get her ironman.

Yeah I've done that before. It's actually sort of...fun?
