I know, there’s no stupid questions. Just stupid people. One of which I am.

In illustrator I tend to create things about eight trillion sizes bigger than it needs to be, which is all good until I realize I used a brush here and then and when I scale my path down the brush stays the same size, successfully creating a blog, instead of what I want. I realize that I can change the stroke and everything, but sometimes I finish a design and won’t need to do that anymore, is there a way I can change the path from a bunch of lines to a shape so it scales easily?
