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.

    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 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.
