Line thickness wont change:(

Someone please help. I can't seem to get the stroke thickness of a line I have drawn to change from .025 to 8pts. Can anyone help?

What are you doing, exactly?

First, use any pointer tool to select the path. Next, change the stroke weight to 8 pts. in the Stroke palette. Sorry if this seems patronizing, but I cannot know your level of experience, and many people can be floored by Illustrator's complexity at first sight.

Thanks for that. I must have been a bug - it fixed itself after i restarted the computer. The poor old thing is grinding with Photoshop and Illustrator!

If that problem happens again, try going to your styles palette and clicking on the first style. I know this sounds way off base, but I had the same problem and it was because I had changed styles at some point and I couldn't change rule sizes until I rebooted. Try it, it works.
