How can we improve InDesign?

Outline stroke

I think it'd be handy if you could draw a line and convert it to a shape, like in Illustrator.

    Would be really useful to have that same functionality as Illustrator for converting strokes to shapes

    Unbelievable! Outlining a stroke in InDesign cannot be done.? Boggles the mind.

    I feature I think should have been there years ago. Especially useful for dashed stroked lines.

    Being able to convert paths to outlines would be very convenient, particularly for thick rules. Rules are positioned by their centers, which makes them more difficult to position with precision than rectangles.

    I would love this for simple path convert to shape.

    I use this all the time in Illustrator and yearn for it in InDesign!

    This feature is called "expand" in Illustrator. I hope adding that in this comment will help others find this feature request and vote for it.
