I'm trying to duplicate and scale a rectangle I created with arc corners to create a series of thinner lines inside. The problem is when I start scaling the lines the arcs don't equally line up with the larger outer arc. I held shift+alt down to scale uniformly toward the center, didn't work. I tried using the "Scale Stroke & Effects" option in the transform dialog but that didn't help. Any idea how to do this without having to create this multiple times?

I think maybe the simplest thing would be to create a brush? – benteh Mar 7 '14 at 1:13

2How did you "create a series of thinner lines inside"? Using the Appearance Panel and Offset Path effect should work fine. – Scott Mar 7 '14 at 1:22

I think @Scott is right, you should be able to just use a negative value for Object > Path > Offset Path
and achieve the new inner paths. You may have to manually adjust the stroke weight though to achieve each iteration looking thinner.
