i have a Compound Path
in Illustrator, that needs to be scaled in line thickness/weight without changing outer Bounds.
This Path was initially created by outlining a simple stroke. The Path consists of points and is closed

(only part of image is displayed here)
There are also the hard requirements:
- Number of points must be exactly equal from the original to scaled version
- The Layers and Elements hierarchy of scaled path must be exactly equal to original one.
How can this be done?
Trying to simply apply Stroke
Weight results in a correct looking Version, but fails matching the requirements above when Outline Stroke
is applied.
This adds a completely new set of points not only in position but also in point count:

Thank you!
