The centreline strokes in shapes created using the Line, Ellipse and Rectangle tools are converted to brush strokes after flattening.
To activate this command:
1. Use the Select tool to select the drawing objects you want to flatten.
2. Select Tools > Flatten.
The centreline strokes in shapes created using the Line, Ellipse and Rectangle tools will convert to brush strokes after flattening.
Avoid using texture pen styles of different colours for drawing objects that you will flatten to ensure that colours blend properly.
