: How to replace a blend's spine with a text outline in Illustrator? I'm having a weird problem in Illustrator CC. I created a blend of objects. Usually, I can then manually create any path

I'm having a weird problem in Illustrator CC. I created a blend of objects. Usually, I can then manually create any path and can easily replace the blend's spine with that path.

But when I create a text object, convert it to outline, and attempt to use that as the blend's spine, the option Replace Spine is grey.

Why is this and how can I work around it?

The problem rests in the fact that your outlines are a group of paths as opposed to a single path. Ungroup and release their compound paths as much as they will, and try again.

The Replace Spine effect will only ever be available when you have a single path as the new spine selected. Illustrator won't know what to with two separate spines.
