when you draw on a black background with white, it comes out black ink on white paper.
is there any way to automatically adjust the contrast of lines with the screen background?
so if i have a dark grey bacground and use a lighter grey line, it is still distiinctive on the white paper?
Is there a tool to correct the colors of shapes in a group in Designer Pro x?
I mean something that can change contrast, brightness and saturation of all colors in the group at once.
For now I use the bitmap filter "Enhance" but sadly the outlines become jaggy by this.
I open an image from LR5 into CS6 and then apply Topaz Adjust 5 filter. I make my alterations in Topaz and save back to CS6. The resulting image in CS6 is markedly different to that shown in Topaz.
I have tried making the image 8 bit instead of 16bit in Photoshop before calling up Topaz but to no effect. The image rendered back in PS is lower contrast and less clarity, loosing many of the enhancements from Topaz. This seems to apply especially to monochrome effects. I can't see how to go straight from Lightroom to Topaz as Topaz only appears to be a plugin for CS6 and don't know if this would work anyway.
I have upgraded to 2014 and since then I get this annoiying thing that happens when I am moving selected objects/lines across the screen during a copy and move. It's not a computer perfomrance thing. I have two monitors and I have called up both 2014 and 2013 side by side. When O copy or move and drag across the screen everything is wonderful. No regen while dragging, I can see the lines/objects 100% solid while dragging. In 2014, as I'm dragging and can't see the objects/lines because it's trying to regeneratate (slowly) while I'm dragging.
I have checked all my setting in tools>options and they are identical to what I ahve in 2013.
I'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.
I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point.
Just upgraded to REVIT 2013 and now many types of lines are not visible on screen- randomly it seems. Also, sometimes they don't print, either. I've tried increasing the fineness of the view, changing the material definitions, etc. Most often this is happenning when I have opened an old file and had it automatically update the file. Also, it seems to happen within asurface texture, but it is not limited to that circumstance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are using Autocad 2014, we recently changed our dimension style fill color to background in lieu of none. This way when we are labeling components on our drawings our text would be to the front and the lines would be to the back. Before we would trim all lines around text which was tedious. We have lines merge on which is a must for our firm. When we plot or create pdf files, there are random gray dotted lines either to the left or left and top of the text where the background mask box is located (see attachment). It is not every dimension or multiline leader text. We plot to an Oce Plotwave 300 (printer driver ocegdi11.hdi). The lines are more faint on the plots than the pdf file, but are on both.
Also tried plotting a pdf file within autocad with the dwg to pdf.pc3 (printer driver pdfplot11.hdi) with lines merge on and it created the lines also. If I use the adobe pdf (printer driver gdiplot.hdi) it did not put the lines. Adobe pdf will not work for us because it is set to lines overwrite instead of lines merge. When I changed the adobe pdf to lines merge it created a filled color region behind my dimensions and masked text. I contacted AcroPlot which is the program we use to create pdf files and they said it is a bug in Autocad, but thought it was fixed in newer versions. I have tried changing the dimtfillclr to 255, but this did not work for us.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a external monitor connected to a laptop so there are two monitors used at the same time. The external monitor is having somewhat different constract and tone display result from the first one. So due to the different contrast setting, my external monitor is having a greater constrat than my main monitor, therefore a picture looks more constrasty in my external monitor. That being described, let me explain what the problem I have.
When I paint using Photoshop CC, I found that Photoshop seems to automatically adjust it's constrast display of that picture while moving around in the different monitor. In this case, I have Photoshop window opened in my external monitor and it has automatically reduced contrast without me noticing, so that the picture in Photoshop in my external monitor looks like having same contrast in that of my main monitor. It's not until I finish my paint and closed Photoshop and opened my paint using AcdSee did I spot the problem. All of a sudden the picture become way more contrasty than what I've been working on in my Photoshop application.
I was wondering what happened and did some testing. And it turns out while my Photoshop is opened in the external monitor. it will decrease the contrast of whatever displayed in it, if I move it back to the main monitor, the constrast is back.
This problem only happensin the case where I havce more than one monitor working. If I only have my main or external monitor on, Photoshop will not auto adjust the contrasts even the the contrasts of two monitors are different.
This have giving me a huge problem. With this auto adjust contrast thing I will not be able to produce accurate picture result because I do not have a fixed standard to look onto. Even the external monitor is contrasty at least I know I can expect the result I produced to be the same as that I see in the photoshop so different monitor doesn't matter. But now since Photoshop is reducing the contrast somehow I get a much contrasty result than I will have expect once I close Photoshop and open that picture in other application.
I took this by placing Photoshop between two monitors so the picture is slipt in two. As you can see Photoshop will auto adjust the contrast in the external monitor so one picture is having two completely different effect! Since monitor contrasts are not reflected in screenshot so you can clearly see the differences.
The reason I say photoshop adjusted the contrast is because I can see this happening, when I drag it to the second monitor without releaseing the mouse, the picture in it is still the same across two monitors. But once I release it, after one second the part in the external monitor changes.
I have just discovered actions which are great and timesaving. One question I have is that if I have an action to adjust levels will the script just bring the highlights and shadows buttons to where i ran in the script or is it clever enough to realise that the script is taking them to the ends of the histogram?

I have attached a screen-shot of the problem, where the the last hollow core slab overlap the beam. I can manually change the width of the last beam, but it would take a lot time, moreover if I change the dimension of the overlapped beam, then i have to readjust the last hollow core slab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was given a file from a competetor (this is evil)
The file has coordinates in feet (x, y) but elevations (Z) in meters.
I need the contours intact (cant explode block and scale) to create a surface from.
The other part is this is a big file so anything by hand would be rediculous.
I need the final file where the x,y has stayed the same but the z has been adjusted to the correct foot elevation (scaled)

I am using VS X2. I am trying to create a DVD of my project. I have assembled my files/projects, created a menu, and previewed. This is as far as I can get. The prompts at the bottom of the page are not displayed properly. I have a "back" prompt in the lower left and it looks like there is the start of a prompt in the lower right. I have adjusted my screen resolution to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the effect or process to, for example, ensure that normally washed out bright background on, say, a sunny beach, has same depth and contrast as the darker subject in the foreground? It is an unnatural state since your eye and most cameras will adjust to one extreme or the other.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to 2013, and there is one "feature" I find kind of distracting. When working in a part, I create a new sketch. When I extrude that sketch, Inventor automatically switches me to an Iso view. I don't want that. I would prefer to stay in the view that I established.
Is there a way to turn that off?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe have recently upgraded several seats in our office to the Building Design Suite 2013 ... AutoCAD 2013, Revit 2013, etc.
We regularly use screen-shot .bmp images from a map site to do our location maps ... and .bmp images for a rendering on the cover sheet. Once the images are edited, cropped / etc. as we want, using a photo program, then saved to the project folder, we insert them to the CAD file. We use the GRIPS to dynamically adjust the image size, snapping to line work.
Problem: There are no GRIPS.
We have found that the SketchBook Designer add-on, part of the suite of programs in the upgrade, is apparently the problem. If we disable that add-on, then the grips once again are there and work as they should.
I am posting this here so that the powers-that-be at AutoDesk will hopefully add this item to their list of glitches that need to be resolved.
I recently switched from cad2012 to cad2013. In 2012, I could zoom in and out with the roller ball until I was able to see my entire drawing in its paperspace viewport. Now, in 2013, I can only zoom in extremely far with one movement of the rollerball and then zoom back out when I move it the opposite direction. There is no in-between like there used to be in 2012. This is extremely annoying because I find that the only option is to use zoom>window which takes way too long to get the result I need. Is there a way to change the interval in which the rollerball zooms?
