Do not try this on an important file, try it on a new blank scene.

Create a box, select move tool, move box while holding [+SHIFT] so as to clone it. With your finger still on [+SHIFT], press [G] to turn on the grid.

Bang. Stuff explodes off the screen and the program crashes.
having issues with getting point sizes on lines below 1 pt. (or inbetween whole numbers). Â read in another discussion about turning off "align to pixel grid". can only find that in pull down menu: select, object, not aligned to pixel grid. it doesn't seem to be toggling off/on.
i've never heard of this issue before. i tried opening the file in cs5 and i had the same issues.
I've been working a good hour on a vector illustration and all of a sudden the "align to pixel grid" feature turned on. It's not selected in the Transform window. In fact, it's grayed out as an option. I restarted Illustrator. Same issue. I restarted my computer. Still happens.
I have a user and when he's in sketch mode he trys to draw a line but it keeps on snapping to a grid. Both snap and grid setting are switched off. I can't find any settings he has different from my own set-up so I'm finding it hard to fox this problem. FYI, this user is a bit of a problem and tends to change settings without even realising he's doing it.
Revit has a propensity to locate a lay-in ceiling grid with a grid intersection in the center of the room. You can use the alignment tool to align the grid with a wall. But I see no way to center a tile in a room. This is often a necessity in a narrow room, to keep the lights centered. Also, installers, when not given specific instructions to the contrary, will often locate the ceiling grid to minimize narrow tiles at the wall. We need more control over the position of the grid.
When i pick points from the drawing using the ID command i recieve a long and meaningless coordinate which is useless to me when setting out. How i can rotate my drawing so that firstly its aligned with my grid and secondly give it the same coordinates as my site based local coordinated grid?
When using the perspective grid tool and type, I have a word on the right side of the grid in perspective, and I want to make a shadow of this word flat on the bottom grid. (Like how a tall building casts a shadow flat on the ground) Â I tried using the shear tool to do it but it is a bit tricky getting it just right. There must be an easier way to do it within the perspective tool grid. Â When I type the word and align it to the bottom grid, how do I rotate it whilst still being aligned in perspective on the bottom grid?If I try and rotate the word using the selection tool it rotates off axis so it is no longer laying flat on the bottom grid. Â Words placed on the bottom grid always read from the left vanishing point - I want the word to read from the right vanishing point so it aligns with my word on the right grid wall.
Understanding that composite volumes are typically more accurate, I have a reason to evaluate the volume between two surfaces via a grid volume. Easily created a grid volume surface using a 50' grid (50' is large for this site, but wanted to get a feel for calculation time).
Question: Can you change the grid size without creating a new grid surface? Ultimately I woud like to explore the difference in volumes based on grid sizing without creating a long list of surfaces. One would expect that you could chage the grid spacing in surface properties, but the values are non-editable.
I was working on some isometric drawings for my CAD class and I can't seem to figure out how to get the grid back to the standard 2D grid view that I used to get when opening CAD. I now jusr get this dotted grid every time:
I am transferring over from Corel and using Photoshop CS4. Sorry to post such a simple question but I'm not quite getting it...and I know it has to be VERY simple. I am having trouble using the cloning tool in Photoshop.
In Corel I simply right clicked on the area I wanted to clone, put my "brush" over the area I wanted to re-do with the clone and it was done. For some reason I am not picking up the process in Photoshop. Any simple tips to get me going?
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this? Whenever I use the Clone tool, the place where I clicked to clone shows blurs around the edge, a softening.
two people in my compartment got new laptops, both using the same software. So I installed one machine completely, including Photoshop, cloned it and write the clone on the second laptop. Now, both Laptops can't run Photoshop anymore. After loading an error message appears and PS is closing The error message is (translated from german):"Your Username, company or serial number for Adobe Photoshop is missing or invalid. The application can no longer be executed and will shut down now." Maybe sysprep removed those informations before cloning? Now, how can I reenter the information without starting photoshop?
I cloned myself three times by taking three different pictures without moving the camera. After that I took one picture and made it the "master picture." I then cut the other clones and dragged them into the "master picture." However, you can still see the lines from the light difference.
I'm looking for an option to adjust the grid size and to snap-to-grid.  For some purposes, you can find a way around this, but it is a pain when working on a project that requires perfect precision.  The topic has been brought up before, but I'm hoping to hear of any news on the possibility of implementing it. I don't assume there has been made any plugins to cater this need since earlier posts on the matter, so I'm hoping to persuade developers to implement the feature in a new version of paint.net instead.  If you need to know more specifically what I'm looking for, then it's basically what you have in Adobe Illustrator or any decent 3D modelling software you will ever come across. It would work pretty much exactly like the grid already in place, except you would not be limited to working only with individual pixels, but rather groups of pixels as you zoom further out. The grid would preferably have thicker lines every 5, 10 or 15 lines, etc. for user to position the various elements.
I'm using Paint.NET 3.5.8 on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
While editing small (16 x 16) images, I noticed that Paint.NET used a grid with a width of 2 pixels. Selection rectangles snap to this grid, as do paste operations.
How can I specify the grid width or disable this snap to grid effect altogether?
want to translate my vector illustrations to charts for cross stitch kits. Using the grid tool, but the lines aren't equally spaced? I have a 100cm x 100cm document at the moment, with 1 cm making a 'stitch'. I want a grid that is 100cm x 100cm, made up of 1cm x 1cm squares for simplicity. Then be able to print the design out on the grid.
I've loved and used my cloning tool for years. All of a sudden I went to apply it and it would be grainy or splattery (new word) on the edges. I changed by brush types an everything, but with no success. I even undated to the newest version of PHotoshop, but still can't get it to work.
to a step by step for cloning and object (in this case a number) in a picture and overlaying this object over another? Basically I'm trying to 69 to 75 on the back of a uniform picture as best I can. I have a 7 and a 5 to clone from another uniform.
Pixel/Cloning question: I have 2 images- one imports as 16.7%, 4000/3000 pixel dimension, 180 res, the other at 33.3%, 2400/1800 pixels and 72 res. When choosing the pixel size for the cloning brush, how does the number of pixels I choose relate to the image size that photoshop has imported your image as? If I decide to work on an image at a different %- zooming in or out, how does that affect the pixel size that I have chosen? Since the actual dimension of the pixel is variable, what criteria is photoshop using to determine the actual size of the pixel, and how does that change at different percents of zoom?
I am using the cloning tool to clone the individual, tiny berries that make up the blackberry.
I make my selection, then left click to paste my selection, and each time I make a new left click, I get a different image of the clone I originally selected.
This happens if I am cloning on the original background image, or on a new blank layer.
If I am working on a blank layer and look at that layer without the background, the clone image is different at each pasting.
If opacity is at 100%, shouldn’t the clone look exactly alike each time I left click to paste a clone?
How do I clone the area from around the beginning of the window to the edge of the photo on the right hand side and add it to the right side of the photo so that it looks like the photo is extended longer to the right? And how can I do it without repeating the couple in the window?
I've never encountered before. I am using the cloning tool in CS5 and I am trying to stamp clone one part of the photo and clone it to another part of the photo. The problem is that after I option click and then drag it to the part I need, dark spots show up instead? I am running Photoshop CS5 for Mac with the latest updates.
Cloning usually applies to a single object. For example if I take a square and make a clone of it, make any changes to the original, the clone will change.
However, if there's a group of a square, a text saying HELLO, Â and a circle. I make a clone of this group. Then if I squeeze the only the circle in the original [thereby making it an ellipse], the clone won't change. Is there a way to do this?
I have a program that lets the user create a new page, by cloning a selected page and placing it at the desired layout order (taborder). For example, the user could copy layout 4 as layout 3 and then there are options for changing the layers that are visible.
The problem I'm running into is when a user enters new page = 3, by copying the current layout 3. What I want is to have the new layout placed at taborder 3, and the rest moved to the right.
It gives me an error, though, saying I'm using the same taborder.' This will copy the selected layout and call it the new page.
Public Sub addPage(ByVal pageNumber As Integer, ByVal pageToCopy As Integer) Dim myDWG As ApplicationServices.Document Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database Dim myTransMan As DatabaseServices.TransactionManager Dim myTrans As DatabaseServices.Transaction myDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument myDB = myDWG.Database myTransMan = myDWG.TransactionManager myTrans = myTransMan.StartTransaction Dim myBT As DatabaseServices.BlockTable Dim myBTR As DatabaseServices.BlockTableRecord Dim myBTRE As DatabaseServices.SymbolTableEnumerator Dim myLM As DatabaseServices.LayoutManager Dim myLayout As DatabaseServices.Layout Dim layoutToCopy As String myBT =
[code]....
 I thought, maybe I could put the new layout at the end, and then just change its taborder, but all that did was overwrite the current layout 3 with the new layout.
