    Default path, stroke, and ??? issues.... help...

    can someone please tell me what the heck i have done here...

    if you look at the different paths/strokes, you'll see in this screenshot that the one path/stroke, with the blue fill, looks like it's rasterized. i have created another path with a blue fill for an example, and it looks smooth like all the rest, but the one big one looks pixelated. can anyone tell me what i have done here, and if i can undo it. it will almost be way too much work to try to recreate that path, to get it to match exactly, so, i'd like to understand what i did here.



    thanks,
    jason

    One reason could be that the path was rasterized as an effect by mistake (Effect > Rasterize). Select the path, take a look at the Appearance Palette and if the Rasterize Effect is in there, just delete it.

    If this is artwork designed for print, then the aliased (not bitmapped) appearance on the upper line is moo.
