: Pull apart pie chart slices in Illustrator but retain stroke I have a pie chart created using Illustrator CC's Pie Graph Tool: I want to separate the slices to create a gap in-between.

I have a pie chart created using Illustrator CC's Pie Graph Tool:



I want to separate the slices to create a gap in-between. I see that this has been asked and answered before, but the answer causes a loss to each slice's stroke (gray becomes white):



Is there a way to add the dark gray stroke back onto the slices? I know that technically they are not actually separated, so must they be ungrouped or something first?

Thank you.

After this you will get lots of groups within groups. To get rid of this press Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+G some more, until only the slices of your graph are left in the layers panel:



Now use Effect > Path > Offset Path with a negative offset value:

you could just select and choose object>expand

alternatively you could double click the object and add a stroke to the segments
