: Trouble scaling an outline in Adobe Illustrator CC (2017) So I'm attempting to make another outline of the vector (in white) within the actual vector shape (black), but scaling the image doesn't

So I'm attempting to make another outline of the vector (in white) within the actual vector shape (black), but scaling the image doesn't keep the vector points aligned with each other. Is there a way to create that outline and have it correspond to the vector path of the original shape (black)?



I'd like the white line to be within the original shape, but cant figure out how to keep the scale bound to the vector points of the original image. Any thoughts?

As for the extra outline not scaling you probably have the layer locked or aren't selecting it for some other reason, but it's hard to know without seeing your layers and your selection...

To answer "Is there a way to create that outline and have it correspond to the vector path of the original shape?"...

Yes. Add a stroke using the Appearance panel (Window → Appearance) and with that stroke selected in the panel, use the "fx" button to add an Offset Path... effect to that stroke.
