Why can I not use line width?

[WeHaveCookies]

Sometimes when I am trying to change the line width of an object, it does not work. In the top, it shows the numbers of the 'Width:' changing, but nothing happens. This makes me have to copy the object, make another one, paint it black, resize it larger, and put it behind the first object, for a black border. Help?

Make sure you do not have the stroke unchecked in the style palette or make sure you have not hid the lines...

I have autofill, autostroke, autoweld checked. Still not working. What do you mean by the width being 'hidden'?

Click on the "hide line" tool in the tool box and try using it on the shape.

You mean by the hide edge tool?

Are the points selected (red) before you change widths? If not, you need to select them first with Select Points tool ('G' key).

No. Theyre red. Its some kind of glitch that sometimes happens. I have to close the program and reopen it. Thanks.
