Can't draw inside?
Hi. I am trying to draw inside a capital letter. I have tried both converting type to outline by itself and then converting type to outline and then expanding the object, but the "draw inside" option remains grayed out.

2.Select the type object using selection tool/direct selection tool.
3.Observe that the draw inside option is no longer grayed out.
4.Select draw inside option. The selected type object is marked with dashed lines corners.
