I’ve created a vector drawing in Illustrator. I’d like to import it into Photoshop as a vector layer so it’s easy to resize etc.

I pasted the drawing in as a shape layer. If I set Stroke in Layer style, it strokes only the rectangle around the drawing. The "Stroke path with brush" button in Paths is disabled.

What’s the best way to do this?

Thanks, HC

First: it is so easy to resize in Illustrator…what is up with that? Make the desired size in Illustrator, save as EPS or PSD, and then go to PS.
