    I create Technical manuals and use alot of callouts with an arrow or line.

    These arrows or lines are black and travel over black and white graphics.

    I would like to outline the arrow or line to have a contrast with the background and make it stand out.

    I have tried to “create outlines” but it is grayed out.

    I tried setting an outer glow, with not much luck.

    I currently draw two lines, one white and one black and offset them. This method is alot of work as I have to create alot of them and then move them later with tyranslations.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Eugene, thank you!

    That is exactly what I was looking for.

    I like the nice sharp lines you get with the lines. Like someone else said, great for maps.

    I do use arrow heads, so I had to use the drop shadow method.

    Just wish that had a crisper outline.

    Thanks again,
