Step Eight: The Outline Ornament

Rather than do the geometry actions all over again, we'll just create new outlines from the work we have already done. Just copy, copy, copy !
Make the top Layer active and select the Yellow Body object.

Hit the yellow plus sign on the Edit Toolbar to copy the object.

This pop-up dialogue box appears.

Click OK to create the copy

Don't finish the edit just yet. Change the colour to pure black.

Now change the object's attribute from Filled to Outline...

Here's the button to change the object from Filled to Outline

Hit the "Props" tab, And set the Outline Width to 7 using the slider.

All the way up to # 7

Make sure the Edit Parameter is set to Solid, and then finish the edit.

This will create a nice sharp outline. Try other styles just for fun.

Follow exactly the same copying and editing procedure for the counter object, and you should finish up with something like this:
