Hey guys, adding stroke to broken apart type/fills is one of the things i always do and have always felt like there has to be a easier way to do it. Currently i have to break apart them then with the ink tool click on each letter/fill to apply a stroke.

How do you add a stroke around recently broken apart text/shapes instead of click on each letter/shape with the ink bottle tool?

\*Other way at looking at it is because the shapes are not connecting and not treated as one is there a way to select multiple objects and add a stroke to them?

cheers.
