Hi. I'm trying to create some custom arrows that have a 10-px stroke and an image fill. But whenever I try this using Effects - Fill the resulting shape extends the fill image to encompass the stroke, as well. I;'ve tried. changing the stroke width and changing to inside, outside, and middle.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

A second shape with an explicit stroke color. It seems Pattern fill will cover the whole shape and makes no difference in stroke or fill.

That makes sense. It’s an extra step but a good solution.

Thanks, Ellen!
