Copy and resize to exact shape

[GJHall]

Good Evening,

I am trying to learn how to take a vector, copy it and resize it to fit inside a vector but with exact shape. I have searched but probably used wrong terminology.

I have attached a CRV file from clip art to see if I can get the design I am looking for.
I want the shape, although the I am doing different shapes, but they should turn out like a 1/2" ribbon from the outside vector.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for any information,

Gary

The offset tool works pretty good if I understand you correctly.

Yes, that is it! Amazing what you forget when you don't use it for so long.

Thank you so much

Glad I could help.

I couldn't, for the life of me, understand what he was asking... lol. I thought he wanted another vector to fit inside that vector... *shrug* oh well...
