Adobe Illustrator Help

    I've created a logo in Illustrator.

    It has a 2pt stroke line around part of the logo. When you increase or decrease the size of the logo the line stays a 2pt, but I need the line to increase or decrease in size in proportion with the rest of the logo.

    I know there is a setting in Illustrator to do this but can't remember how to do it. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Go to Preferences
    In the General page, check the box "Scale Strokes and Effects"
    As an advice you should try to have logos without strokes. I usually expand all strokes in logos to avoid any fidelity problems.
    You never know when that logo will be in the hand of a provider with this setting off...

    Thanks, that was what I was after, but I hadn't realised that changing the stroke in that way wouldn't change the settings document wide. Have now expanded the strokes instead, so thanks for that :)
