I'm trying to create an icon that I build using the stroke tool. However, when I go to vectorize the stroke, some weird stuff starts happening.

Original, correct: Original, correct

Stroke vectorized, not what I want: Stroke vectorized, not what I want

Anyone have any ideas what might be the culprit for this? Here's a view of what Sketch is doing with the groups:

  • What do you mean 'vectorized' in this context? If you are using Sketch, the stroke is a vector.

  • I can see how that is confusing. "Vectorize Stroke" under Layer > Paths > Vectorize Stroke is the command for changing a stroke to a shape object.

  • Sounds like I need to start using Sketch! That is a very odd wording they are using compared to illustrator!

Friend at work helped me out, happily:

Before trying to vectorize the stroken I needed to use Layer > Paths > Flatten on the shape. Worked like a charm :)
